It was a favor to a dead friend: Frank Morgan is shepherding a group of mail-order brides to a brawlling Alaska boomtown called Skagway. A bushwhacking, storm-racked sea voyage, and anything-but-friendly reception isn't enough to stop Morgan and his blushing brides. But a beautiful woman has a lucrative plot on her mind-in the wild, wild north where men are mad with greed and lonliness-and the last gunfighter will need skills he didn't know he had. Because this Alaska winter has turned into a death trap.
