Synopsis: FIRST RULE OF JOHNSTONE COUNTRY: TRUST NO ONE No one knows the dangers of driving a stagecoach better than Red Ryan. Especially when the passenger&’s a dead man, the payoff&’s a gold mine, and the last stop is death . . .SECOND RULE: WATCH YOUR BACK Red Ryan should&’ve known this job would be trouble. The first stop is a ghost town—in a thunder storm—and the cargo is a coffin.
