Even at seventeen years old, Carson Ryan knows enough about cow herding to realize the crew he's with is about the worst ever. They're taking the long way around to the Montana prairies, and they're seriously undermanned.
While rounding up strays, Ryan hears gunshots ring across the range. Suspecting an Indian attack, he gallops straight into a US Army raid instead. The outfit he's with is nothing but a bunch of murdering cattle rustlers, and the law thinks he's one of them. Tied up, thrown in jail, and tried by a court that's more interested in hanging a man than learning the truth, Carson has only two options: escape or die trying.

Charles G. West arrived on the Western literary scene in 1998 with his first novel, Stone Hand, the first of a three-book series featuring Jason Coles, master tracker. The public response to that series called for more Western fiction by West, who now has written over thirty novels. Inspired in his youth by great adventure authors like A. B. Guthrie, Jr., and Vardis Fisher, West has always sought to be true to the men and women who braved the dangers of the savage frontier that was ultimately forged to become the American West. His novels are classified as historical Westerns due to his diligent research of the times as well as the people.
