Synopsis

A USA Today Bestselling Series

Buck Fletcher headed for Montana's Two-Bit Creek in order to pay his respects at the grave of his parents. But what awaits him there may land him six feet under as well. Drawn into a range war that's brewing in the territory, Buck finds himself threatened by one side, courted by the other. The feuding ranchers don't realize that Buck's guns aren't for sale - but if anyone gives him trouble, he'll start shooting lead for free.

About the Author

Ralph Compton stood six-foot-eight without his boots. He worked as a musician, a radio announcer, a songwriter, and a newspaper columnist. His first novel, The Goodnight Trail, was a finalist for the Western Writers of America Medicine Pipe Bearer Award for best debut novel. He was also the author of the Sundown Rider series and the Border Empire series.

As a little boy growing up in a small fishing village in Scotland, Joseph West enjoyed many happy Saturday mornings at the local cinema in the company of Roy and Gene and Hoppy. His lifelong ambition was to become a cowboy, but he was sidetracked by a career in law enforcement and journalism. He now resides with his wife and daughter in Palm Beach, Florida, where he enjoys horse riding, cowboy action shooting, and studying Western history.
