Publisher's Synopsis
JOHNSTONE COUNTRY. THE GOLDEN YEARS.
From the bestselling masters of the classic Western comes a blazing new series that proves that old cowboys only get wiser, bolder--and crazier--with age ...
They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks. But old cowboys? That's a different story--especially when those cowboys are trail-hardened cattlemen like Casey Tubbs and Eli Doolin.

There's just one catch: once they pull off the perfect crime--and get away with it--Casey and Eli start thinking they may have missed their calling in life. This could be the start of a whole new career ... as outlaws.
So begins the wild, wild story of Casey and Eli, two old cowboys who are one step ahead of the law--and the young deputy marshal who's determined to catch them. ...
