Skarpskytten Jonas Crow vann inga medaljer under inbördeskriget; däremot en federal arresteringsorder för en rad brott han påstås ha begått under namnet Lance Strikland. Nu lever han som resande begravningsentreprenör och allt han har här i livet är sin likvagn, sin tama gam Jed, sin orubbliga cynism… och sin kärlek till Rose Prairie. Eftersom hon trodde att hennes närvaro utsatte honom för fara lämnade hon honom innan deras romans ens hann börja. Eftersom hans liv inte har någon mening utan henne har Jonas föresatt sig att hitta henne, oavsett riskerna.

Del 6 av Jonas Crow's äventyr. Den avslutande delen i denna episod. Efter att Rose Prairie lämnat honom lejs en djupt deprimerad Jonas Crow av Sid Beauchamp, en gammal vän från hans hårda ungdomsår i New Orleans. Sid är numera väletablerad som sheriff i Tucson, och ska dessutom gifta sig med Josephine Barclay, stadens rikaste änka. Men hon har ett villkor: Sid måste hämta tillbaka hennes döde son från apache-territoriet. Och det är därför han behöver sin gamle vän begravningsentreprenören. Vid första anblicken verkar det vara en ganska okomplicerad uppgift: Gräv upp och återför Caleb Barclays döda kropp efter att han förslavats och torterats av apacherna. Men den hänsynslösa apachekrigaren Salvaje avslöjar för Jonas att den döde – ”Den Vite Indianen” – inte alls var någon slav utan tvärtom hennes make och hennes sons far, och dessutom ledare för apachernas motstånd mot de vita. Än värre är att hans död var resultatet av Sids egna lömska planer! När Jonas får veta sanningen vänder han sin barndomsvän ryggen och försöker ta tillbaka kroppen så den kan återföras till sin riktiga viloplats. Tyvärr tas Jonas, den åldrade krigaren Kenitei, och Salvaje och hennes son Chato till fånga …

Del 5 i serien om Undertaker. Ny episod tar sin början. Jonas Crow är begravningsentreprenör, och efterlyst för ett antal mord han begick under slutet av amerikanska inbördeskriget, när han fortfarande gick under namnet «Strikland». Sedan dess har han rest från stad till stad med gamen Jed som sitt enda sällskap. Under en period av några månader hoppades han att hans ensamma tid var över, när han reste tillsammans med två kvinnor, Lin och Rose Prairie. Den förstnämnda blev en vän, den andra kunde ha blivit hans livskamrat. Men de lämnade honom, och han återtog sitt rastlösa liv. Tyvärr finns det fortfarande mycket mer han kan förlora …
