Hellfire Crossing
(2025)(Book 79 in the Timber: U.S. Marshal series)
A novel by Robert Hanlon and Randa Payne
WHEN JUSTICE WEARS A STAR, VENGEANCE WEARS BUCKSKIN.
Levi Drake isn’t just an outlaw—he’s the devil incarnate. After orchestrating a blood-soaked escape from Santa Fe prison, he reforms the Hellfire Gang and carves a path of terror across the Southwest. His goal? To make Sheriff Colt McRae suffer for the sin of putting him behind bars. But Drake’s reckoning comes with a catch: McRae isn’t hunting alone.
U.S. Marshal Timber—a man as relentless as the desert sun—rides with a badge that pardons his brutality and a mandate to end Drake’s reign by any means necessary. Timber’s methods are merciless; McRae’s honor is unyielding. Forced into an uneasy alliance, these two lawmen must navigate a trail of burned homesteads, massacred innocents, and Drake’s taunting traps.
As they close in on the outlaw’s stronghold in the cursed ghost town of Hellfire Crossing, they’ll face more than bullets. Rattlesnake-infested mines, crumbling canyons, and their own clashing codes of justice threaten to tear them apart. But in the shadows of a decaying silver mine, a final showdown awaits—one where vengeance and duty collide, and only lead can settle the score.
