When he was given the job of protecting the Gold Train - a locomotive carrying a hundred thousand dollars' worth of freshly-minted gold coins from Denver to Washington - Wells Fargo agent Clay Nash knew that every outlaw in the country would be tempted to try robbing it. The train itself was well protected by soldiers, Wells Fargo guards and Gatling guns ... but there were some mighty ambitious owlhoots out there who would still make a stab at taking the cargo.
Like the Ghost Riders, for instance.
The Ghost Riders had been raising hell right across the territory, robbing and killing without mercy. No one knew who they were - they left no clues behind them, and whenever they pulled their jobs they were careful to drape themselves in white sheets to protect their identities and put the fear of God into their victims.
As it turned out, his hunch was right.
Clay was blown up, shot and beaten, but still he kept after them, determined to track the Ghost Riders down across this lawless land ...
