The Wages of Sin

With outlaws wreaking havoc left and right, a cow town in Texas is on the brink of becoming a ghost town. That's when I's time to call in Chicago-based Pinkerton agent Ash Tallman and his partner Vivian Valentine. Going undercover as a handsome, charming drifter, Ash is always ready with his gun and popular with the ladies. And the lovely, vivacious Viv plays the role of a fervent evangelist, offering salvation - with the promise of a sweeter reward - to any sinner who can give her clues to the whereabouts of the man so bent on revenge he gladly kills anyone who crosses his path. But his outlaw has never before encountered the likes of Ash Tallman.

They'd killed five men already, and stole a quarter of a million dollars in silver and gold. Now, a band of vicious thieves thas drawn the best man that Wells Fargo can send: the rangy, mysterious Chicago-based Pinkerton agent named Ash Tallman. An operator who works with a pleasure-loving beauty who goes by many names and does her best work in the least amount of clothes, Tallman is heading to Red Rock, Arizona, territory. In the shadow of the towering Rico mountain range, hard case highway-man are plotting their next hold-up - and will hurt as many people as they can along the way. Ash and his lady, both going deep undercover, quickly find their way inside the strange, vicious outlaw band, but that's only the beginning. For while the killing goes down in Red Rock, the planning takes place in Tucson. And that's where two outgunned Pinkertons must face an evil all it's own.
