The Last Train to Christmas

Summary

The Last Train to Christmas

Mere days before Christmas, Rocky is devastated that his wife has left him and decides to drown his sorrows at the local saloon. He had no idea when he stepped through the doors that he would be witness to two shootings within minutes of each other, or the intended third victim.

Rocky is sure he is about to meet his maker when a stranger stepped in and ended the one-sided gunfight. Eager to repay the stranger for saving his life, Rocky is tricked by Henry Plunkett, into helping locate a "long lost cousin." Unknowingly, Rocky leads Plunkett to the person on whom the stranger is intent to avenge the wrongful death of his father, a woman named Annie Oakes Whatley.
