A burned-out homestead. A murdered family. And a drifter named Destry standing in the wrong place at the worst possible time.
Some men run from trouble. Destry keeps finding it—whether he wants to or not.
Passing through the gold country near Cripple Creek, Tom Destry stumbles onto a scene of brutal slaughter meant to look like an Indian raid. He knows better. The bodies were staged, the truth buried beneath ash and lies. Before he can ride on, Destry finds himself accused of the crime and thrown into a jail cell by men more interested in swift justice than hard facts.
Destry isn’t a gunfighter and he doesn’t seek out violence, but the frontier has a way of forcing choices on a man. When kidnapped children, ruthless killers, and a desperate husband collide, Destry is drawn into a pursuit that tests his convictions and drags him back toward a life he tried to leave behind. As the trail grows darker and the stakes turn deadly, Destry must decide whether to walk away clean—or ride straight into a reckoning that could cost him his life.
This is the West as it truly was: raw, unforgiving, and ruled by men willing to bend the law until it breaks. And at its center stands a reluctant hero whose sense of right and wrong refuses to be burned away.
Justice doesn’t always wear a badge. Sometimes it rides under an assumed name and answers to no one.
Discover the hard-edged, character-driven frontier of From the Lost Accounts of Destry: Trouble at Cripple Creek, a classic Western filled with grit, moral tension, and the kind of quiet resolve that defined the Old West.
