A hard-riding cowboy teams up with a stubborn farm girl to save her family's freight business in this adventure from a master storyteller of the West. When her brother finds himself locked in a vicious battle with corrupt kingpin Craig Armin for control of the freight business in a silver town called Piute, Celia Wallace sells the family farm and goes west to help him. She's just short of her destination when bandits attack her stagecoach, pressing a pistol to Celia and making her hand over every cent she has. She's ruined—but she'll fight to get her revenge. Meanwhile, Armin's nephew Cole, who knows nothing about his uncle's underhanded dealings, has come to Piute looking for a job running one of his uncle's mule trains. But he will find a cause instead: helping Celia search for her stolen money, betraying his own family to do what's right. Dead Freight for Piute is a hard-hitting, authentic western about the brave men and women who had the true grit to stand up to evil, greedy men in a land where the only law was the law of the gun.
