Tom Rowden has been riding away from the Pecos River for twenty
years, plagued by the haunting image of his wife, Sarah, the second
before he killed her. Now, he is dead-set on returning to her
unmarked grave above the river to make one final atonement. His
journey is interrupted when a group of Mexican bandits burn down
the 7L's ranch house, kill the ranch boss, and rape and abduct his
daughter, Liz Anne. The 7L's greenhorn wagon boss, Jess Graham,
desperately begs for Tom's help in rescuing Liz Anne, the girl Jess
loves. Tom obliges and sets out with Jess and his posse of ranch
hands through a hellish desert landscape toward the Pecos River.
For Jess, it is his first journey through the desert; Tom hopes it
is his last.
The journey slowly wears down the group of cowboys, who must face
deadly foes, choking dust clouds, and rabid wolf attacks. To stay
alive, they also must fight against personal desires and a growing
sense of hopelessness, but the most deadly enemy remains the
scorching desert, threatening to erase life at any second.
Liz Anne, meanwhile, must also fight on through the desert,
holding on to what dignity she has left, trying to slow down her
captors long enough for her rescue party to catch up. Her captors
reach the pools hidden in a canyon just a few miles away from the
Pecos River and set an ambush for the rescuers. Will the posse be
killed by the ambush? Will Jess ever get back his precious Liz
Anne? Will Tom be able to make it the last few miles to the Pecos
River and find absolution? Discover all the answers in Patrick
Dearen's exciting new tale, "To Hell or the Pecos."
