The Texas Rose Saloon has a reputation for attracting the wildest characters the Wild West has to offer. But there's a new owner in town, and when a former lawman like Ben Savage is at the bar, there are two kinds of shots on order- the kind that come from a bottle of whiskey and the kind that come from the barrel of his gun.

As an experienced lawman, he figures he can run a decent establishment. Keep things friendly, peaceful, and orderly. There's just one problem- a rival saloon owner wants Savage out of the way so he can control all the vice in town. And some of his men are bound to turn up in his saloon-thirsty for whiskey . . . and killing . . . Live Free. Read Hard.
