And theres a new menace in town: a wealthy, handsome easterner-and the owner of Appaloosas new casino-Boston Bill Black.Boston Bill is flashy and bigger than life. Hes a prankster and a notorious womanizer, and with eight notches on the handle of his Colt, hes rumored quick on the draw. When he finds himself wanted for a series of murders, he quickly vanishes.

Another murder sets the duo on his trail, eventually taking them back to Appaloosa-where one woman in particular may, or may not, prove to be the apple of Boston Bills eye.
