The sun set on the Wild West long ago, but some people refused to notice. Claude Dallas was one of them. A wily trapper, Dallas typified the rugged individualism that forged this country. He went too far when he killed two game wardens in 1981.

In the early 1990's, Washington, D.C., became the murder capital of the nation. Few were left untouched by gang violence, which was ignited by the drug trade. By 1994, that violence would strike at the very heart of law enforcement.
