The town of Firebow lay directly in the path of the marauding Kelly gang as they fled the scene of their latest robbery and killing spree. And for Sheriff Maloney this spelled big trouble, big enough for him to clear the town and reduce it to a ghost of itself. But when the Kelly mob finally rode in, there were more than ghosts to haunt them. Their brutal past had caught up with them in the shape of the mysterious Marshal Carew. He was no ghost and he was right there - waiting and watching from the shadows.
