A medicine man turns vigilante when he sets out to take revenge against the gang who took everything from him, in this pulse-pounding new Western in Ralph Compton’s bestselling Sundown Riders series.
Jerome Frederick Kincannon is a medicine man—an apothecary by trade and a healer at heart. But when his wife and young son are murdered by the notorious Benjamin Gang, his world crumbles around him. Kincannon can’t forgive the four Benjamin brothers for their transgressions, and he’ll never forget.
His ambitions from that day forward are simple: kill them all.
For a year, Kincannon has searched high and low for Hank, Leland, Curtis, and the unidentified fourth Benjamin brother. But the gang has proven to be more wily than expected. But Kincannon’s content to wait, coiled and ready to strike, until the perfect opportunity comes around. After all, a snake will mind its business if you mind yours—but when provoked, you’d best watch out for its venom.
