A dangerous prisoner. A long ride through open country. Marshal Gideon ‘Dust’ Calder knows better than to trust either.
When Dust Calder is ordered to deliver a condemned man across two hundred miles of unforgiving terrain, the assignment reads simple on paper and anything but in practice. Rance Hollowell carries himself with a calm that doesn’t fit a man bound for the gallows, and from the moment they leave Abilene, Dust has the uneasy sense that the trail ahead has already been measured by someone else.
The country offers no shortage of trouble, with long stretches of open ground giving way to tight passes, hidden approaches, and places where a man can disappear without a trace. When riders begin to show themselves, they do not come like desperate outlaws, but with a patience and precision that forces Dust to reconsider what kind of job he’s really riding into.
With each mile, the journey grows heavier, the danger more deliberate, and the line between escort and survival begins to blur. Dust has spent a lifetime reading land and men alike, but this time the answers don’t come easy, and the cost of reading wrong won’t be his alone to pay.
