Hired to guard freight on an ancient riverboat bound for Texas, the Virginian learns the cargo he has promised to deliver safely to Twin Creeks is comprised of sevety-five West Indians, who are being smuggled across the state line to bust a rail strike. But the strikers, under the direction of Alexander Garrett, a ruthless cattle baron, are determined to stop the Queen of the River from reaching its destination at any cost. Caught in a desperate power struggle, Steele finds his own lie at stake during a bloody, last-ditch battle that changes the calm current of the Mississippi into a torrent of death and destruction." >>> small Rubber stamp on front endpage;.
