An eye for an eye…

The Civil War has caused bitterness and resentment in many, including Ross Halloran, an ex Confederate Army man.

Halloran wants nothing but revenge on the Yankee carpetbaggers who have destroyed the south, claiming their livelihood for themselves and destroying the lives they have built over the years.

On the run from the law, he is forced to flee his home.

He sets out on his own, unsure of what is to become of him.

It’s not long before he discovers a group of amateur outlaws who need guidance.

Can Ross Halloran be their new leader?

Spurred on by anger, Halloran takes this new found opportunity for his revenge, caring very little for the fortune he could gain from his skilfully planned bank and train robberies.

Yet, little does he know that despite his best efforts to spare the lives of the innocent, he is soon to become the most sought after and deadly outlaw ever known.

Before long, Halloran’s face has been pinned to posts across the country as the Pinkerton men continue to hunt him down.

They are being led by the powerful Hilger who has been relentlessly seeking him for months.

He will not stop until Halloran and his band of ruthless outlaws are brought to justice.

With a reward of twenty thousand dollars for Halloran dead or alive, who can he really trust in this game of cat and mouse?

Will Halloran win and get the revenge he longs for, or will law and order prevail inCain Brand?

A fast-paced western adventure, reminiscent of the classic Louis L'Amour.
