Action-packed and full of history, award-winning author Reg Quist delivers book four in a series that details the turbulent adventures of a young lawman.

Sheriff Rory Jamison wants nothing more than to protect and serve his county-and start over after the last few years. But when the federal government intervenes, he is forced to embark on a dangerous mission with a brand-new federal marshal straight out of Washington, D.C.-who has no idea just how deadly the west can be.

Stolen cattle lead them to Texas, where they battle ruthless rustlers and harsh weather conditions on the hunt for the truth. And just when they think they've solved the case, they discover that stolen cattle are the least of their worries.

Uncovering a level of crime that goes deeper than a county sheriff should go, Rory is convinced that his responsibilities lie with his own county and is determined to head home. Too bad the feds feel otherwise.

Full of heart-pumping action and moments of reflection, Rory is on a steadfast mission to protect the county he was elected to serve...but he might have to solve a federal crime before he's able to make the trek home.
