Plt;bPgt;Introducing a gun-blazing new series from the masters of the classic Western. Meet Jesse Derringer. Troubleshooter for the Union Pacific Railroad. Where thereP#8217;s trouble, thereP#8217;s Derringer. And where thereP#8217;s Derringer, thereP#8217;s shooting . . .Plt;/bPgt;Plt;brPgt;Plt;brPgt;On the Fourth of July in 1867, the Union Pacific Railroad announced plans to expand their line into the remote mountains of Dakota Territory. They chose a site near Crow Creek Crossing to be their headquarters and named it Cheyenne. Almost immediately, new residents began to arrive: dreamers and schemers, drifters and grifters, good folks and bad. The owners of Union Pacific knew thereP#8217;d be problems. Between settling disputes, laying down tracks, and keeping the peace, theyP#8217;d need a troubleshooter. A reliable man of steely resolve. A concealed weapon . . .Plt;brPgt;Plt;brPgt;His name is Derringer. Like the gun.Plt;brPgt;Plt;brPgt;Arriving by cattle car with two of his beloved horses, Jesse Derringer is not your typical railroad employee. With the eyes of a scout, he looks for trouble before it becomes a problem for the construction crewsP#8212;and sometimes starts trouble himself. Usually he handles hot-tempered troublemakers with a cool head and steady hand. But then there are problems that are more complicated and itP#8217;s DerringerP#8217;s job to defuse themP#8212;before they ignite a full-blown bloodbath. Plt;brPgt;Plt;brPgt;Jesse Derringer is about to learn the true definition of trouble-shooting.
