“Her brother, Nick, was the sheriff of Laredo - immediately before Jake Base began to wear the town’s five pointed star. As far as she was concerned the Indian loving sheriff, who no doubt made himself comfortable behind the same desk as her dearly departed sibling, was the reason why her brother was no longer able to tread this earth. It didn’t matter to her he’d sliced up his own wife in the basement of the home they shared together. A ritual he’d undertaken purely as a way to hone the skills he needed in preparation for doing the same evil to others. Yes, Jake Base had been the one to put the two pieces of soft heavy lead into the poor man’s head. The same as you would with any rabid, crazed, dog. No matter on the total number of legs at its disposal to get around on – whether it was two in pants or four covered in fur. It was a fact which meant the undertaker duly found his work cut out with bits of chicken wire and plaster of Paris in an attempt to make her brother’s head look remotely human for the burial. However, there was a definite limit to the undertaker’s creative abilities, which was truthfully soon reached. He was after all not an artist.”

Life would be nothing but good for the Laredo sheriff, Jake Base – if it weren’t for the reoccurring appearance of a certain ‘albatross around his neck’.
Anna Constance.
The lady who‘s the sister of the Texas towns’ previous lawman. Proved, beyond all doubt, to be every bit as psychotic as her now deceased sibling.
In order to greatly improve her chances of success against Jake and the King Spread outfit, she’s thrown her lot in with a group of Mexican bandits. A particularly evil company of men. Each one would happily sell their mothers – and not even for the money. Simply because they could!

The prowling band of evil scalp hunters make their presence felt once again – and are permanently dealt with by Jake, ably assisted by several new names.
Another group of men in the same terrible business, seemingly with a family connection to the first, makes an unwelcome appearance. Their purpose? To strangle the very life out of the King Spread enterprise – then take whatever’s left for themselves.

Within the pages there’s a Cheyenne maiden who happens to be a long way from home. One who’s had recent dealings with the same evil men.
We also get to meet a particularly nasty tempered livery owner with a fondness for swinging a heavy quirt – usually against his defenceless wife.

Throughout the pages of this book one single question remains – demanding an answer.
Will Jake finally get the better of Anna, and remove the nemesis from his life?
Forever…………….
