Brother's Blood is a tale about the corruption of the guardians of our laws and the men who stand against them. Bill Powell was a tough and uncompromising lawman who relentlessly pursued lawbreakers and brought them to justice. Then temptation came his way when Loraine Carlisle revealed to him the whereabouts of a wagonload of stolen gold. Greed caused Powell to think he could place himself above the law, but he crossed the one man he should have killed or avoided altogether. Marshall Joel McKeagh became Powell's implacable enemy. When McKeagh went hunting Powell, the trail could only end in bloodshed. It was to be a duel to the death, and only one of them would be alive when the fighting ended.
