New York Times Bestseller

Ever since he left Scotland to start a new life in America, Duff MacCallister has stayed true to the values and traditions of his clan in the Highlands. But as Christmas approaches, he yearns to reconnect with his family--even the ones he hasn't met yet. This year, two of his American cousins--twins Andrew and Rosanna--will be joining Duff for the holidays at the Sky Meadow Ranch. That is, if they manage to get there alive...

En route from Cheyenne to Chugwater, the twins' train is held up by not one, but two vicious outlaw gangs. The Jessup gang has been using the Spalding gang's hideout to plan the robbery. The Jessups just lost two of their brothers in a bank job gone wrong--courtesy of Duff MacCallister--and they're gunning for revenge. Together, these two bloodthirsty bands of killers and thieves are teaming up to make this one Christmas the MacCallisters will never forget. They're taking everything: The train. The money. The MacCallister twins. And a woman from Duff's past who just might be the greatest present of all.

But Duff's got a gift to deliver, too. It's called gun-blazing justice. And unlike that train, it can't be stopped...

Being the all-around assistant, typist, researcher, and fact checker to one of the most popular western authors of all time, J.A. Johnstone learned from the master, Uncle William W. Johnstone.  

He began tutoring J.A. at an early age. After-school hours were often spent retyping manuscripts or researching his massive American Western history library as well as the more modern wars and conflicts. J.A. worked hard—and learned.

"Every day with Bill was an adventure story in itself. Bill taught me all he could about the art of storytelling. ‘Keep the historical facts accurate,' he would say. ‘Remember the readers, and as your grandfather once told me, I am telling you now: be the best J.A. Johnstone you can be.'"
