About This Book

The narrative follows Billy Byrne as he returns home determined to reform and clear a wrongful murder accusation. While seeking lawful vindication he becomes embroiled with former companions and new allies and enemies—among them Eddie, Bridge, Pesita and Barbara—through a sequence of betrayals, prison threats, thefts, escapes and ambushes along the border and into Mexican war zones. Episodic chapters alternate high-stakes action, clandestine plotting, and quiet moments of personal change, leading to a final confrontation that settles long-standing debts and allows a romantic resolution.
