Jess finally enjoys his time resting in his lake house in Stratton with Wildcat, Bodine and Reedy. After parting ways with the beautiful and deadly female bounty hunter, he was back on the hunt for Van Isidor, a man who had still eluded him.
He eventually gets Isidor, but not before he hears about a beloved preacher from the town of Sawyer who was murdered and the church money taken.
He then starts his hunt for the culprit, Cristian Lyon, and finds help in an old friend. The huge timber wolf named Shadow.
Along the way, there is a brutal murder of a town marshal in Crawford. What got Jess’s attention was the brutal way in which the marshal and his family were murdered, including his wife and two young children.
It brings back old memories of his family’s murders and he begins his hunt for the two killers.
He will deliver his personal form of justice to them…and they will pay.
Jess is on the hunt for another wanton killer by the name of Ben Ritchy. Along the way, he meets Texas Ranger Hatch Heller, who’s also looking for Ritchy because he killed Heller’s younger brother. Jess helps him catch Ritchy and lets him take him back to the town of Mason to fulfill the promise he made to his mother, who wants to personally watch him hang.
After that, Jess ends up in the town of Curtis, where he witnesses some drunken cowpunchers almost trample a young woman and her little daughter as they ride their horses fast into town.
When dealing with them, he discovers they work for a man by the name of Ed Bunch, a rich man who made his fortune in oil. Bunch sends two of his hired guns to Curtis to run Jess out of town, not knowing who he really is.
Jess kills them both and pins his Deputy United States Marshal’s badge on and decides to enforce the law in Curtis. Bunch takes the action of pushing back and hires more guns. He quickly learns it was a mistake.
Then Jess receives news that Ritchy murdered Ranger Heller and is on the loose again. Jess goes back on the hunt for Ritchy and ends up getting help from two of his good friends, Wildcat and John Bodine.
With their help, Jess is hell-bent on seeing that Heller’s promise to his mother is fulfilled, one way or another.

Jess is on the hunt for Griff Euler. Along the way, he meets a man by the name of Mace Lovitt. Unsure if he’s a threat or not, he contacts his friend, Deputy United States Marshal Frank Reedy, to find out.
