The Price of the Gunfighter
(2026)(Book 18 in the Trails of the Gunfighter series)
A novel by Wyatt Steele
A prison wagon. A condemned gunman. A road paved with blood.
Nash only wanted paid work.The sheriff of Mercy Creek needs men to escort a prison wagon across hard country to Blackridge, where an old gunfighter named Silas Vale is due to face the rope. The job should be simple enough: guard the prisoner, keep the wagon moving, and collect the pay at the end.
But the road to Blackridge is anything but simple.
Someone wants Vale dead before he reaches town.
The first attack comes in the dust and rocks. Then the water is cut. A way station is burned. Men start dying. The prison wagon becomes less a lawful transport than a moving target, and every mile brings Nash closer to a truth no one wants spoken aloud.
Sheriff Rusk claims he is only doing his duty.
Vale claims the law in Blackridge has already been bought.
Nash does not trust either of them.
But when the wagon breaks, the guns close in, and Blackridge’s justice begins to look more like murder wearing a badge, Nash must decide what his gun is worth — and what price a man should pay for standing aside.
Gritty, tense, and packed with hard choices, Price of the Gunfighter is a classic Western tale of pursuit, betrayal, corrupt law, and one man’s refusal to let justice be buried before dawn.
