The exciting third adventure in a Western series from Jeff Crawford!
Noah and Elise Weyland were proud of all three of their sons, and their wives. They were proud of their two grandchildren also. But neither Noah nor his wife had stopped grinning during the past month. Their youngest son, Caleb, had not only graduated from dental school and was brought immediately into a medical practice as a partner, he had also married his sweetheart the day following his graduation. They now lived in Houston and were enjoying the building of their lives together. Or they had been.
The telegram arrived at the ranch late one evening. Caleb’s wife had been shot and killed by a jealous former suitor. Caleb was asking that Noah come and help by doing what he could do better than anyone—help find this man so that Caleb could avenge his wife’s senseless murder. The law hadn’t been told anything, and they wouldn’t be. This was Weyland business, and Weylands always took care of their own.
Walthum Bridges was the son of the powerful and affluent Atlas and DonnaLee Bridges of Little Rock. Of course, Walthum went there first for help, but it was not found there. Walthum refused to tell why he was on the run, and his family would not support running without knowing why he felt he had to. He was offered protection, but staying was not on the boy’s mind.
This was how the manhunt began and moved from Houston to Little Rock to the sleepy village of Eliddon, Arkansas, the town where lives for some would eventually change forever and other lives would simply end. This is how Caleb Weyland learned to understand, but not fully control the rage that was inside of him, just as it had always been within his father Noah. The rage that made Noah the most feared Texas Ranger of all was now going to help Caleb obtain the justice that the young bride lying still in her grave deserved so very much. This was about a debt of blood, and men of the Weyland family were going to collect all that was due. Only this would prove to Caleb Weyland, and others, what he was truly capable of.
