There are some problems all the tech in Texas can't solve. Things aren't always easy for the Sheriff of Dead Oak, Texas. Cybernetically modified biker gangs roam the skies, dangerous outlaws prowl the streets, and gunslingers threaten the delicate balance of a Texas gone sour. J.D. doesn't mind. He'll hold hard the line of justice, no matter what it takes. Sometimes things aren't so simple. When a rancher is murdered, it's going to take all of J.D.'s skills as a Texas Ranger to track the killer. Every turn he makes he find more threads of a massive conspiracy that could tear his town apart. Every discovery leads him down the darker path of his own past. And he's not the only one doing some tracking. A man in black is on his trail.
