A massacre at Pine Ridge Tavern.

One of the men responsible left something behind.

Now Charlie Tillman wears it around his neck like a charm until the day he can return it.

That day is coming soon, and it's coming up on Perdition Mountain.

Tillman lives by a natural code that rules the trail. It's a rough code, a stern code, and sometimes its justice is meted out in harsh ways.

Burt McCallister runs the store at the Perdition mining camp. He didn't seek to be the conscience of his camp, but when the job was thrust upon him, he took it.

His code is natural, and it swings at the end of a rope.

When Charlie Tillman and his friend John Little Owl turn up in the camp at Perdition Mountain, a collision is bound to happen. Burt McCallister's sense of right and wrong won't sit still for Charlie Tillman's sense of justice.

If you love gritty Westerns in high mountain mining camps so cold your eyes will freeze reading the words, then grab your mule and snowshoes and come along on the trail with Marshal Tillman and John Little Owl. You'll want to keep your powder dry, because there's bad men up here looking to escape The Trail's Stern Code.
