Trailback — Robert Vaughan

It Wasn't Your Land Until You Fought For It.
It Wasn't Your Life Until You Were Willing To Die...

Cole Collier once was a preacher, but in the smoke and fire of the Civil War, he found a bloody calling--with a gun that was faster and deadlier than any other. Now, Cole is trying to live a peaceful life again, working as a cook at a ranch called Trailback in Southwest Texas...until Bill Todd shows up.

Trailback's young new owner has come to Texas with a plan to introduce a different breed of cattle to the land. To neighboring ranchers, changing from Longhorns to Herefords is an idea worth killing over. Sending a paid gunslinger into action, they're out to bathe Trailback in blood. For Bill Todd, a family dream is on the verge of destruction, but he has an ace-in-the-hole he doesn't even know about: a mild-mannered cook who has lived another life, and now might have a reason to turn to the devil once more....
