Longarm’s caught between a rock and a hard place! U.S. Deputy Marshal Custis Long is dispatched to the Pass of the North—the American-Mexican border-city of northern El Paso and southern Del Norte—to extradite a prisoner from Mexico. The Federalés however, are being none too cooperative, leaving Longarm to bide his time on the American side of the city until his charge is released. Unfortunately, he learns he’s made some enemies when some polecats use him for target practice. To find out who wants him dead and why, Longarm’s got to ask questions on both sides of the border—and both sides of the law…

Longarm and an Apache scout are swept up in a whirlwind of trouble… Longarm’s old friend, War Cloud, the Apache scout, is taking a break from getting shot every day in Buffalo Bill’s Wild West show to come to the aid of the U.S. government. War Cloud, along with his beautiful daughter Magpie, will team up with Longarm to retrieve an errant Army wife who has run off with an Apache. If they fail to bring back the ravishing runaway, the cuckolded Major Belcher may spark another Apache war by storming the sacred Shadow Montañas to reclaim his wife and kill her Indian lover. With a loose cannon on one side of the border and arrow-happy Apaches on the other, Longarm will have to be fast as lightning—or he and his companions may be caught in a hail of bullets.

Only Pancho Villa, king of bandits, is gutsy enough to make war on Terrazas the Tyrant. And only Villa would sell tickets to one of his massacres. A curious mob settles along the Rio Grande, waiting for a bloodbath. They don't know that they've wasted their two bits on a phony war. Only one man is wise to Villa's crafty fake—Stringer MacKail. The adventurer-turned-newsman saddles a fast horse and tracks the real war to Mexico's sun-parched badlands. The desert erupts in a hellish inferno of torture and death as Villa's fearless gang shoots it out with Terraza's battle-scarred army. A murderous band of Yaqui warriors adds to the slaughter. It's a hell of a war. And a hell of a story—if Stringer lives to tell it.
