Publisher's Synopsis
It wasn't aces and eights - the so-called dead man's hand - that the skeleton was holding, but he was definitely dead. Cut loose by the Domino Ranch, Cody Hawk and his friends are facing a winter without work. So when the cowboys come across the skeleton it leads them to its treasure of gold and yet right into a deadly game, up against a band of killers and a money-hungry woman. As they make their way across the empty land it seems that the skeleton isn't holding the only deadly hand: Cody Hawk will need the luck of the draw, and some help from a wild mountain girl, to survive....
