The ex-Texas Ranger known only as Jackson has always ridden a solitary trail. His first mission ended in disaster as he was the only survivor of an ambush by an outlaw known as El Vibora (the Viper). The loss of so many fellow Rangers left Jackson to ride with the spirits of the fellow Rangers he lost to seek revenge on the outlaw who caused it all. But, there is another lost spirit in Jackson's life. The disappearance of the lovely Pilar has always haunted Jackson. Her last words, "Come and find me", have burned a hole in his soul for these many years. If it were not for a widowed Ranch owner, Caroline Early, Jackson would have given in to the insanity of life, forsaking people and even living. No longer a Ranger, Jackson still finds himself hunting criminals and outlaws. He is more of an avenging angel than a lawman sent to bring the lowest of the low to justice...frontier justice. It is in the midst of chasing three villains that Jackson finds out that Caroline has been abducted. There is no demand for ransom. There is only the demand that Jackson comes for her. The abductor claims to be the infamous El Vibora, himself. The location that Caroline Early is being held brings a chill to Jackson. It is the same little box canyon where El Vibora ambushed Jackson and his fellow Rangers so many years before. Jackson has no choice to go but he fears what will be found in the canyon will be a most deadly end to the nightmares and anguish he has endured for so many years.
