Brewster Ritter has a warning for Flintlock: Do not cross Sabine River. Ritter, the so-called Baron of the Bayou, is a vicious crime king still seething because Flintlock killed one of his gunmen in a Texas dustup. But Flintlock has his own powerful reasons for crossing into the nightmarish swamp country from East Texas. Now in an earie land of mysterious mists, haunting cypress trees, snakes, gators, and black-hearted, trigger-happy war hogs, Ritter is waiting for Flintlock with enough men and guns to kill him ten times over. Flintlock knows what he's getting into, though, and losing is not an option. Because what's at stake is not just lives, or Ritter's criminal kingdom, but the future of the very soul and survival of this land.
