"Don of the Black Serape" tells the story of Steve Doyle, a young American who served for a time in Pancho Villa's gringo battalion before joining the A.E.F. in Europe. The infamous "don" is an old man who wields political power in his district. In the same setting, "Senor Satan" is the story of whiskey running and drug-smuggling to the United States, and the efforts of an American federal agent to capture the leader. The title story is set on Coburn's home ground of Montana, where a young boy's rustler father has been killed by cattlemen.

"In Angel Ridge, Tennessee, not much goes on around town in the winter. After Christmas, folks usually hunker down and wait for spring to come to the Smoky Mountains. But given recent events, which included a bombing and newspaper publisher Jenny Thompson's disappearance, people in town are understandably on edge. Now Jenny's in hiding on a nearby mountain, waiting for trouble to catch up with her and none too sure it hasn't, when reclusive mountain man Cord Goins comes to her rescue. Stuck between a beginning and an ending, both she and Cord feel powerless to control the dangerous situation they've found themselves in, along with the unexpected consequences of falling in love."--Page 4 of cover.
