When the notorious outlaw Jake Barnette is sentenced to "hang by the neck until dead", he threatens to come back to wreak revenge on those who captured him. This makes the town sheriff's 11-year-old son, Ben, more than a little nervous, and when the outlaw's coffin washes out of its grave in a flood the next spring, strange things begin to happen around town...This fast-paced, creepy story combines the romance of the Wild West in 1878 with a supernatural villain who is guaranteed to make readers shiver.
