Back by popular demand from the Smoking Guns Collection, Robert Harvey presents
Harlan Cole—a hard, relentless Texas Ranger forged by war and injustice, now facing dangerous men across a frontier where mercy comes second to duty.
~~~~~~~
Someone is betraying the frontier
Four Rangers are dead. An Army payroll is gone. And somewhere in West Texas, a traitor is selling men to their graves.
After years of bloodshed, prison, and hard riding, the Special Texas Ranger Harlan Cole has rebuilt the C-Bar and begun carving a life from the ruins of his family ranch. But peace was never made for a man like Cole.
When news arrives of four murdered Rangers, a stolen Army payroll, and a trail leading deep into the Trans-Pecos, Cole straps on his guns once more.
Someone with access to military secrets is feeding information to the enemy. Army horses are disappearing through crooked remount contracts. Soldiers are dying in ambushes blamed on Victorio’s Apache warriors. And the deeper Cole rides into the conspiracy, the more dangerous the truth becomes.
Joined by battle-hardened Buffalo Soldier Sergeant Sam Walker, Cole follows the trail from Fort Davis toward the Rio Grande, where thieves, deserters, gunmen, and killers are waiting.
They made one mistake.
They thought Harlan Cole could be frightened off the trail.
Now the Ranger is coming—and he intends to find the man behind the bloodshed.
