With only 3 days to reach the Red Chance mine shaft, and dangerously tailed by angry town miners and army cavalry, tension is rising rapidly amongst the protagonist trio, and troubled past are revealed. Jonas Crow, the Dead Shot undertaker with guns far too powerful for the job, seems to hold a gruesome criminal record from his time in the army. Rose, the beautiful English housekeeper, is very respectful of the last wishes of the deceased, but is also very hateful of her former employer. And Miss Lin, quite an emotionless crack shot herself with an extremely dry sense of humour (or does she really mean what she says?), draws her leading but obscure attitude from a traditional Chinese sense of honor. Motives start clashing, poisoned by the paradoxical idea of committing a crime without being a criminal, the sour realisation that one only sees who a gentleman really is when he can no longer hide behind good manners and a nice suit, and, above all, whether it’s all right to accept being dirtied by others’ rage, anger and gold. Interesting considerations, albeit a bit out-of-place when the pack of drunken but increasingly raging town hotheads finally close in, mind you. The grand finale, at the shaft entrance a few hundred feet off the ground, is as fiery and “loco” as the Undertaker’s personality. Overall, the cinematic feel, the truly magnificent colours, the spot-on facial expressions, the dust and blood exacerbated by the incredible scenery, the philosophical and hilariously ironic views on life make reading this comic a sheer pleasure. Xavier Dorison and Ralph Meyer work superbly well together, as Asgard, XIII and now the Undertaker series are here to prove. And there is more to come!!

Publisher's summary Europe Comics

Undertaker Jonas Crow, along with the English governess Rose and her Chinese maid Lin, have to get the gold-filled corps of old Mr. Cusco back to the mining vein they call 'Red Chance'. They have three days. Three days, a hearse, 50 miles ahead of them, and an entire town of discontented miners to deal with!
