When Doctor Clyde Evans is kidnapped from his home in the middle of the night to tend to a wounded outlaw, Sheriff Ben Stillman’s problems are only just beginning. Stillman tracks the doctor to a remote cabin deep in the Two-Bear Mountains. He springs the doctor, shoots the outlaws, and confiscates the bank loot. He also arrests a beautiful young outlaw, Hettie Styles, who promptly puts a bounty on Stillman’s head.
Compounding the sheriff’s problems, his old foe Jacob Henry Battles rides into town with a steel hook replacing the arm Stillman shot off years ago, before sending Battles to prison. Dying from consumption, the vengeance-seeking old outlaw challenges Stillman to a deadly game of cat and mouse.
For fans of William W. Johnstone and George P. Cosmatos’s Tombstone, you’ll love the tenth novel in the epic, fast-paced Sheriff Ben Stillman series.
