Trapped in the wilderness west of Laramie in the Snowys, a supervisor turning up dead and no one backing their discoveries, Jensen and Barnes struggle against rogue rail men to notify UP Headquarters in New York of their problems.It was two new surveyors against seasoned hands out to kill anyone getting in their way and their money. Turn the cash over and be killed or hide it and be killed. Neither option good. Not waiting for death to come on someother’s terms, Jensen and Barnes take the fight to the Laramie rail crew; either win or lose they could still wind up dead.
