About the book
In this pulse-pounding western from national bestselling authors William W. Johnstone and J.A. Johnstone, Smoke Jensen welcomes a new rancher to the valley - whose intentions are deadly, especially when his …arrival brings a wild bunch of merciless killers in his wake...
Thaddeus Bolton considers himself a cattle king, with grand ambitions matched only by the vast land and livestock he recently acquired near Smoke Jensen's Sugarloaf ranch. Bolton and his family are pleasant enough, though his wife Emmaline may be a bit too friendly. As her husband expands his territory, Emmaline sets her sights on Smoke. But dealing with her advances becomes the least of Smoke's concerns when outlaws start raiding the valley, targeting every ranch except Bolton's.
With his cattle at risk, Bolton takes matters into his own hands and forms a group of vigilantes to hunt down and execute the suspected thieves, with no solid evidence against them. When Bolton's own ranch is attacked, his vigilantes unleash even deadlier punishment.
To put an end to the violence, Smoke gathers his own posse to bring the outlaws to justice, only to uncover Bolton's malevolent intentions. Now Smoke must expose Bolton's corruption before the whole valley plunges into a brutal range war.
