![]() Mox Mox is working the same territory as Joey Garza, a beat also patrolled by the gunslinger John Wesley Harding. ![]() The manhunt is almost immediately complicated by the return of Mox Mox, a murderous pervert who likes to torture and burn his victims. Call summons Pea-Eye to ride with him as he has always done, but Pea-Eye, who almost desperately loves his farm and family and who is beginning to feel his age, refuses the Captain for the first time in his life, and Call has to begin his hunt with no help other than that of Mr. Captain Call's final manhunt begins with orders from Colonel Terry, president of the railroad whose trains have been knocked off and passengers murdered by coldblooded Joey Garza. Pea-Eye and Lorena, the only teacher at the little local school, have five children. Living nearby, Pea-Eye, Call's old corporal, is a farmer married to Lorena, the gracefully fading beauty who once worked as a prostitute. Woodrow Call is nearly an old man, still maintaining his reputation as the greatest manhunter in the West. Gabby, funny Gus McCrae is in his grave, but years later other veterans of McMurty's epic cattle drive live on. A handsome young psychopath begins a spree of train robbery and murder in the West Texas border country, and the victimized railroad hires the legendary Ranger Captain Woodrow Call, aging hero of McMurtry's Lonesome Dove, to stop him. ![]()
