Follow-up to my story Three for Tragedy. Several months after the shooting, the emotional wounds still cut deep.
Bart gets the shock of his life when he unexpectedly finds, of all things, a baby. Where did it come from, and who is its mother? Bart takes the baby to the closest town, assuming that it's in danger...and he's right. The trouble is, the danger finds its way to him, too.
With Bart critically wounded and three new enemies on their trail, Beau takes refuge with his cousin in an old stable during a rainstorm. He wasn't expecting to be plunged right into a local crime boss's territory, nor for said crime boss to show them some apparent mercy. But is the man genuine, or have the Maverick boys left the frying pan for the fire?
