A classic western novel from Frank Wheeler with non-stop epic adventure and a blend of western romance
U.S. Marshal Branson Pike has spent years bringing outlaws to justice. He knows how to stay calm in bad situations, and never lets anger take the reins.
But his latest assignment might be the one that breaks him: escort a reckless young bounty hunter named Lucien ‘Lucky’ Bones across the New Mexico Territory so he can testify against Clyde Ratton—an infamous outlaw with friends in high places and killers eager to shoot.
Turns out Lucky’s name is more curse than charm.
Gunmen follow their trail. Witnesses vanish. And someone’s sending hitmen with badges.
Enter Delaney Burke, a fast-talking reporter chasing a smuggling story that just might bring down half the territory’s power brokers, including Corbin Grayer.
The problem?
It all ties back to Lucky.
And more so, to a mysterious ledger someone’s willing to kill for.
As the trio ride deeper into danger, uneasy alliances form, and trust becomes a scarce commodity. Branson doesn’t trust Delaney.
Delaney’s tired of being used.
And Lucky?
He’s got a lot more to confess than he’s letting on.
Amid gunfights, ambushes, and betrayal, one question lingers:
When the smoke clears, who’s really on your side?
Each novel in the series is a standalone western which can be read out of order.
Genre: Western
