Nick Graves has had a life full of more death than any man can handle. Graves has dealt death as well--as an outlaw, running with some of the most feared gunslingers in the West. Now he's ready to turn his back on his dark past and live out his existence back in the family business--as a mourner, paid to see to the details of funerals and wakes. Nick wants to settle down, but a man's past has a way of staying with him. And soon he crosses paths with Barrett, his old partner in crime, kicking up old memories like dust on the trail.
