Raised in a traveling circus, Anthony Castracane mastered the art of horseback riding, knife-throwing, and wrestling better than anyone before him. His life as a main-attraction performer would have been enough had he not met Muriel Lester, who was on her way West to be married. Determined to claim her as his own, Anthony headed West to the hellhole they called Dodge City. In this outlaw haven, Anthony would have to use all of his skill and cunning to survive. He hadn't been in Dodge City long when he was challenged by the notoriously dangerous gambler Diamond Jack Kirby. Soon Anthony Castracane had outgunned, out-knifed, and out-ridden most of Dodge City's vilest renegades. But even that would be little consolation if it didn't win him the beautiful Muriel.
