Trouble Out Of Rivers
(2026)(The first book in the Micah Temple Western series)
A novel by Glenn A Bruce and C Wayne Winkle
A brand new Western adventure from acclaimed authors C. Wayne Winkle and Glenn A. Bruce!
The quiet town of Rivers in west Arkansas has never seen much trouble. The only man to make much noise is the self-proclaimed ‘hangin’ judge’ Harlan Roy Ruff. Any man who walks into his court is likely to walk out with a rope around his neck.
No one has ever complaineduntil Ruff sends a minor rustler to the gallows for stealing three horses, which happened to belong to the judge himself.
When the rustler''s outlaw cousin RJ Devry hears about it, he devises a deadly plan for revenge that starts with kidnapping the judge’s grandniece and taking her deep into a vast forbidden territory known as The Traces, from which few honest men ever escape.
Though a small posse forms, led by young Micah Temple who holds a flame for the kidnapped girl, those few men stand little chance of taking on the Devry gang and getting her back.
Luckily, Micah’s somewhat famous grandfather Just Cruthers rides into town on a hunch. An experienced tracker and former marshal, he is relentless in his pursuit of justice.
Ruthless RJ Devry is both cruel and clever with no plans to stop until the judge, the girl, and the posse are all slaughtered. He doesn’t care who goes first, as long as they all die horrible, grisly deaths.
Micah Temple’s only hope is that his grandpa Just will prevail and stop the bloodbath. But time is running out, the sun is going down, and RJ’s gang is lost in The Traces.
