Publisher Description
Plenty of action, marvelous period detail, and spare writing—a hard-boiled western
Between your last prayer and the snap of the rope, there’s
no time for mercy.
The first victim was cut down from a limb outside Fort
Benton; the second, bound and strung up in Bear’s Paw. Now, Deputy Page Murdock
has discovered two more men swinging from a hanging tree among the aspens along
the Missouri River. They aren’t drifters. They aren’t bandits. They’re the law.
And like every man with a badge, they’re wanted—by a renegade posse who live by
their own cold-blooded rules.
The Montana Territory is their new killing ground—and Murdock has just
crossed the border.
