Publisher's Synopsis
A telegram arrives from the Northern Oklahoma Territories in Laredo for Texas Ranger Captain Bates. Marshal Jack Black is in trouble, and the only friend he has to ask for help is Rowdy. So, the Ranger sets off north on the MK&T Railroad to aid his friend, a journey that leads him to Kansas State Prison in Levine - an institution that is called the Hell-Hole by its inmates.
Has the Kansas marshal finally crossed that fine gray line of the law and will he spend the rest of his life behind bars, or will Rowdy Bates and his Texas Rangers find a way to win the day and save Jack from the very outlaws he put away?
