Orin Chantry: Bounty Hunter: The Alcalde's Debt
(2025)(The tenth book in the Orin Chantry Western series)
A novel by Mike Mackessy
A brand new Western adventure from Mike Mackessy!
The self-appointed Alcalde of Taos, New Mexico, has levied a debt on U.S. Marshal Orin Chantry. The Alcalde has Orin legally declared dead, stealing Orin’s share of the family ranch, the cattle herd, the remuda, and his wife. Orin learns a liability lays on everything he holds as important. Word reaches the Frio River Ranch; the Alcalde has recruited forty of the worst outlaws in Texas. Barely escaping several ambushes, Orin enters the fray. Recruiting ninety friends, they gather near Taos to help settle this debt.
Leaving Texas to satisfy this debt leaves the ranch open to rustlers. On their return, Orin and the Frio River Ranch continue the battle against bullies and rustlers. But the fighting demands a toll from them all. Some fall crushed. Some grow stronger. Others question the endeavors. Are the results worth the effort?
For every debt paid, fate levies a tax on the balance. Who is left strong enough to settle this bill? Orin, lawmen, ranch-hands, outlaws, rustlers, or the money and power behind the railroad?
