To Hell or the Pecos, a novel

Tom Rowden has been riding away from the Pecos for twenty years, plagued by the image of his wife, Sarah, the second before he killed her. Now, he is dead-set on returning to her unmarked grave at Horsehead Crossing to make final atonement. His journey is interrupted when a group of Mexican bandits burn down the 7L ranch house, kill the owner, and abduct a young woman, Liz Anne.
