Some hunger never dies.

Oklahoma, 1911.

U.S. Deputy Marshal Jubal Smoak has hunted killers, outlaws, and desperate men across some of the roughest country in the West. But nothing in his experience has prepared him for what waits in the Wichita Mountains.

Sent after two dangerous fugitives, Jubal and his partner, Deputy Mamie Dossett, ride into a hunt that quickly becomes something far more deadly. One of their quarries is rumored to possess an ancient and terrifying power.

The other trail leads to Winter Ghost, a mysterious Sac medicine man whose shadow reaches far beyond the rugged Oklahoma wilderness.

Then people begin to die.

As Jubal and Mamie follow a trail of murder, fear, and old Indian legends, the line between superstition and reality begins to disappear. Something is stalking the mountains. Something impossibly old. Something with an appetite that cannot be satisfied.

Jubal Smoak has never been much for believing in ghosts.

He may not have a choice.

Winter Ghost, Book Two of the Jubal Smoak Mysteries, is a dark, atmospheric Western thriller where frontier law collides with Native legend—and some things cannot be stopped with a badge and a Winchester.
