A Texas frontier family faces deadly conspiracies both at home and on the trail in this Western saga from the New York Times–bestselling authors.
 
The Kerrigans risked everything to stake a claim under a big Texas sky. Now one brave woman is fighting to keep that home, against hard weather, harder luck, and the West’s most dangerous men.
 
A Ranch Divided . . .
 
Kate Kerrigan has made the hard journey to Dodge City, where a cowboy she hired has been accused of killing a prostitute. Despite his notorious past, Kate still trusts Hank Lowry. And when a hired killer comes after her, she knows she has struck a nerve. Someone has framed Hank for murder in order to cover up an even more sinister crime . . .
 
Meanwhile, Kate’s son Quinn is manning the home front as it comes under siege. A wagon train full of gravely ill travelers has come to the parched Kerrigan ranch, being led by a man on a secret mission. And when the shooting suddenly starts, one wrong step could be fatal . . .br />

About the Author

William W. Johnstone is the USA Today and New York Times bestselling author of over 300 books, including the popular Ashes, Mountain Man, and Last Gunfighter series. Visit his website at www.williamjohnstone.net.

Being the all-round assistant, typist, researcher, and fact checker to one of the most popular western authors of all time, J.A. Johnstone learned from the master, Uncle William W. Johnstone. Bill, as he preferred to be called, began tutoring J.A. at an early age. After-school hours were often spent retyping manuscripts or researching his massive American Western History library as well as the more modern wars and conflicts. J.A. worked hard--and learned. "Every day with Bill was an adventure story in itself. Bill taught me all he could about the art of storytelling and creating believable characters. 'Keep the historical facts accurate,'  he would say. 'Remember the readers, and as your grandfather once told me, I am telling you now: be the best J.A. Johnstone you can be.'" The Loner marked the debut of Tennessee-based J.A. Johnstone as a solo author.

Well now this volume sure brought the action and danger up about three notches. Kate Kerrigan finds trouble in all directions and it seems to sneak up behind her as well. Life on a large West Texas ranch is no picnic in the best of times but in the 1880’s it is from time to time a living hell to go from one day to the next. Kate responds to the trials and conquers thanks to a hard case Segundo Frank Cobb and a her older son Trace.

The usual attention to detail you can expect from the author. In addition he keeps you on edge as well as he takes you thru the many different jam packed segments of raw scenes in the book. Very nice. Read.

I can't get enough of William W Johnstone! Although I'm a Preacher and Smoke Jensen junkie, I'm
really getting to like his other series. This series has become a favorite. Kate Kerrigan is a remarkable
woman. Frank Cobb is one to have on you're side. Fast on the draw and shoot with deadly accuracy.
All I can say is "Another job well done" by Mr. Johnstone.
