Return to Stratton
Jess and John Bodine have finished cleaning up Frankfurt, ridding the town of Eddie Pickett and his gang, and Jess is back on the hunt for Dave Nutter.
After finally catching up with Nutter, he heads along a trail that would take him to Stratton, Texas, for a much-needed rest. Along the way, he takes Nutter’s body to the town of Raleigh to turn in to the marshal there for the bounty.
When he arrives, he discovers that the marshal, Houston Goodheart, has been beaten severely by two brothers, Larry and Danny Neal. Goodheart begs Jess to track down the two brothers and bring them back to his jail while he recuperates.
He catches the Neal brothers and locks them up in the jail in Raleigh, but then two of their friends show up in town and cause trouble. Jess is delayed even further dealing with them.
Just when he thinks he’ll be able to continue his travel to Stratton and his long-awaited rest, life seems to throw more obstacles in his way, one by one.
He begins to wonder if he’ll ever make it to Stratton.
Troubled Town
Death Hunter
Jess is back on the hunt for the next killer on his list, a vicious man by the name of Rufus Hadley. After he finds Hadley and kills him, he takes his body to the town of Madison to turn in for the bounty.
After leaving Madison, he heads to the town of Arthur in search of Tom Dutton. Dutton had already left the town of Arthur, but not before killing one of the local men there. While in Arthur, Jess meets a beautiful young woman by the name of Lindsey, and he immediately takes to her.
Stolen Horses
After catching the three Gleason brothers and putting them in their graves with the help of John Bodine and the huge wolf, Shadow, Jess finds himself on the hunt for even more ruthless killers. The hunt takes him to several towns.
When he takes the body of another killer back to the marshal in the town of Salisbury, he meets a fifteen-year-old girl whose father has been murdered by two outlaws. After discovering who the two men are, Jess tells her that he will track them down.
The next morning, when he’s ready to leave Salisbury on the hunt for the two men, he finds the girl already sitting on Sharps In the livery…and she’s not getting off no matter what he says.
Money Wagon
Jess is on the trail of the next man on his hunt list, Stacey Kern, when he comes across a strange custom-built and enclosed wagon. The men escorting the wagon try to hire Jess as one of their guards.
He doesn’t accept the job but it seems his travels crisscross the wagon on its way to Houston, Texas. Along the way, he encounters two other outlaws who aren’t wanted dead or alive, but are obviously interested in what’s in the wagon.
He stops the two outlaws from ambushing the wagon, but then they meet up with two other men who have some information about the wagon and what’s being transported inside it.
The four outlaws team up together and attempt another ambush. Jess shows up during the middle of the fight.
Bullets fly and men die.
