Stryker's Crossing
(2026)(The third book in the Stryker Bounty Hunter series)
A novel by Robert Hanlon and Clem Mariotte
He rode into a country already claimed—by rifles, by fear, and by men who no longer intended to bend.
Jack Stryker doesn’t chase rumors. He follows warrants, and this one drags him deep into the Big Bend where a deserter has vanished with a wagon full of Army rifles and a dozen hard men at his back. The job is clean on paper, backed by a Ranger’s badge and a sack of gold, but nothing about the country ahead reads clean—not the ground, not the men waiting in it, and not the story he’s been paid to believe.
What Stryker finds in the canyon isn’t a band of thieves running from the law. It’s a line being drawn in dust and stone, with families caught behind it and rifles already in their hands. Every mile south strips away another piece of the truth until the job becomes something else entirely—something that doesn’t fit the warrant and won’t settle easy once the shooting starts.
Now Stryker stands between a Ranger captain with his own design on the territory and a man willing to arm the desperate to hold it. One wrong decision turns the canyon into a killing ground. One right decision might do the same.
He came for one man. He may have to decide the fate of them all.
Ride with Jack Stryker into the Big Bend, where the law is written in iron and paid for in blood.
Genre: Western
