Crossfire on the Rio
(2026)(A book in the Jubal Stone: U.S. Marshal series)
A novel by Clem Mariotte and Casey Nash
A brand-new Western adventure starring two of the frontier’s most relentless lawmen.
In the lawless borderlands of 1888 Texas, cattle vanish by the thousands, ranches burn under cover of night, and a daring payroll robbery leaves federal agents dead. The trail leads straight to Kenny Ankara, a cold-eyed rustler kingpin whose mixed gang strikes hard and disappears across the Rio Grande.
Texas Ranger Dan Burton knows every hidden trail and water hole along the border. U.S. Marshal Jubal Stone carries a federal warrant and a reputation for never letting a fugitive slip away. When their paths collide at a scorched ranch, jurisdictional sparks fly—until a desperate chase forces the two scarred lawmen to ride together.
With Dan’s trusted posse at their backs, they pursue Ankara through dust storms, canyon ambushes, and moonlit river crossings. As the raids grow bolder and the final target threatens railhead fortunes and innocent lives close to home, the partnership hardens into something unbreakable.
Ride with Nash and Mariotte as their greatest characters team up for a mission the size of Texas!
