A novel by

 
 
In the scorched badlands of the territory, outlaw kingpin Marvin Masterson leaves only smoke, widows, and bodies dangling from the infamous hanging tree at Sagewater Crossing.

U.S. Marshal Timber has one order from the governor: end Masterson’s reign of terror—no matter the cost.
What follows is a relentless manhunt across burned wagons, ambushed mines, and a dying town called Serenity Butte, where the sheriff’s already gone missing and the streets belong to killers. With a Bible-toting preacher who’s trying to outrun his own bloody past and a horse named Scout that’s smarter than most men, Timber tears the gang apart one bullet, one booby trap, one rooftop sniper at a time.

But when Masterson rides in with thirty hard cases to burn Serenity Butte to the ground, Timber has one last chance to rally a terrified town for a desperate, firelit stand.

In a freight-yard showdown soaked in blood and gunsmoke, only one man walks away from the hanging tree still breathing.

Timber is that man.
