Lawbreaker Webb Cousins is headed for a short trial and a long stretch in jail. A bounty hunter has him cuffed and covered, with no chance of escape. But when the prisoner and his captor ride into the town of Wagon Mound, death rides with them. In a flash of rifle fire and a spray of blood, Cousins finds himself shackled to a dead man—and unwittingly caught up in a murderous range war he wants nothing to do with. To ride away a free man will take more than breaking his bonds. He'll have to wage a one-man battle against two bitter enemies locked in a vicious cycle of vengeance and cruelty.

Recognized as a Mormon classic 20 years after its release, The Backslider features longstanding Christian conflicts played out in a scenic, sparsely populated area of Southern Utah.

They start out almost penniless, then find growing success when they open a small mining camp store, build a herd of cattle, and eventually become involved in the banking business in Tucson.
