Redfield Trouble
(2026)(The third book in the Marshal Gideon 'Dust' Calder series)
A novel by C Wayne Winkle
Some towns don’t want a marshal. Others are already damned without one.
Redfield looks like a place trying to behave itself. Marshal Gideon ‘Dust’ Calder knows better. Trouble has a smell, and Redfield reeks of it—quiet threats, crooked smiles, and men who watch the street a little too carefully when a lawman rides in.
Calder is no stranger to hard towns or harder people. He’s earned his nickname the long way, through gun smoke, grit, and an unshakable refusal to bend. But Redfield isn’t facing ordinary trouble. Power here flows through back rooms and whispered deals, enforced by hired guns who believe the law can be bullied—or buried.
As Calder digs beneath the town’s polished surface, he uncovers a tangle of corruption, intimidation, and violence that reaches farther than he first imagined. Every step forward brings resistance. Every question asked tightens the net around him. And the deeper he goes, the clearer it becomes that someone wants him gone—permanently.
With enemies closing in and the town balanced on the edge of open bloodshed, Calder must decide how much he’s willing to risk to set things right. Walking away would be easy. Cleaning up Redfield may cost him everything.
Hard-edged, atmospheric, and steeped in classic Western grit, Redfield Trouble delivers a relentless story of frontier justice where the badge draws fire, courage is currency, and one determined marshal stands between order and chaos.
