Dead Man Walking
(2026)(The first book in the Texas Ranger Rayland Gibbs series)
A novel by Ash Lingam
They shot him in the back and left him for the vultures—but a Texas Ranger’s death isn’t that easy to claim.
Captain Lynch Moon should be dead, rotting under a brutal desert sun. Instead, Sergeant Rayland Gibbs finds him barely breathing—clinging to life by a thread and a hunger for justice. Whoever pulled the trigger didn’t just wound a Ranger. They started something they won’t be able to stop.
Rayland takes the trail and rides it hard. Across scorched plains and into the lawless edge of El Paso, the hunt turns savage—ambushes, close-range gunfights, and one brutal hour that leaves seven men dead in the dust. With a sharp-eyed newspaperman at his side, Rayland closes in on a killer who thought he’d vanish without consequence.
But justice doesn’t end at the barrel of a gun. Back in Laredo, as the gallows waits, new trouble is already taking shape—and one encounter with Ellie Brackenridge threatens to pull Rayland into a storm he won’t see coming.
Texas Rangers, relentless manhunts, high-body-count gunfights, frontier justice, and the spark of something dangerous beneath it all. If you want grit, speed, and a lawman who doesn’t quit—grab your copy of DEAD MAN WALKING now.
