Synopsis
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 Levi Doolin. When these longtime buddies learn that their bosses are getting out of the beef business, they figure it's probably time to retire anyway. Nothing left to do now but deliver the last two-thousand cows to Albilene and collect their pay. There's just one problem. Their bosses' lawyer is skipping town with all the workers' cash--which means Tubbs and Doolin have one last job to do. . .
