Trouble In Texas
(2026)(The second book in the Thomas Blackwall: U.S. Marshal Western Adventure series)
A novel by C Wayne Winkle
The law came to Texas wearing a federal badge and carrying a warrant. What it found was a town already owned by fear.
U.S. Marshal Thomas Blackwall rides into a booming timber settlement expecting to investigate the disappearance of a federal revenue agent. Instead, he finds a prosperous frontier town rotting beneath the surface, its streets filled with broken men, poisoned whiskey, and deputies who answer to wealthy ranchers instead of the law.
The deeper Blackwall digs, the clearer the truth becomes. Freight wagons are moving through the limestone breaks under cover of darkness. Federal records are disappearing. Men asking questions are ending up dead. And behind the clean storefronts and stone buildings stands the powerful Grayson family, a dynasty built on violence, intimidation, and a fortune soaked in blood and poison.
But Thomas Blackwall did not ride into Texas to look the other way.
Outnumbered, isolated, and hunted across the frozen badlands, Blackwall pushes deeper into enemy territory where every canyon may hide a rifleman and every mile could become his grave. What begins as a missing-person investigation soon turns into a brutal fight against an empire determined to survive at any cost.
TROUBLE IN TEXAS is a hard-edged Classic Western packed with relentless tension, deadly confrontations, frontier corruption, and a lawman willing to stand alone when every honest man around him has already backed down.
Genre: Western
