Synopsis

Ross Brandon's heroes have always been cowboys. Even after years as a successful Washington, D.C. attorney, Ross has never lost a deep-seated longing to be in the great outdoors, riding his trusty steed across the frontier. When a friend suggests they spend their vacation following the trail of one of L'Amour's better-known characters, Sackett, Ross agrees immediately. Their plan is to find and visit as many of the places mentioned in the novel as possible, although they would do it astride motorcycles rather than horses. Their pilgrimage starts out deceptively simply, but they soon encounter far more than they bargained for, and end up in a deadly struggle for their lives against vicious modern-day outlaws. This then is a story of discovery, drama, danger, and adventure — all the while paying homage to Louis L'Amour.

About the Author

Steve spent his first nine years in the US Navy on submarines, both diesel and nuclear. He traveled throughout the world, saw duty in Vietnam, and left the Navy as a Petty Officer First Class. While traveling throughout the West on a Triumph motorcycle, he fell in love with Colorado, and moved to beautiful Boulder.

He graduated from the University of Colorado, from University of Denver College of Law, and was a Deputy District Attorney in Colorado's San Luis Valley.

Steve was recalled to active duty in Naval Intelligence. He was Special Assistant for Latin American Affairs, and in 1987 went to Panama as Chief of Intelligence Operations.

Lieutenant Commander Bloch's last Navy assignment was Deputy Director of the Antiterrorism Center in Washington. He retired from the Navy in 1992.

Besides "A Hard Kept Secret," he has written "The Panama Papers," a story of espionage, betrayal, and Washington intrigue. He is currently working on his third novel, "Nordeen's Revenge," the terrifying tale of a terrorist attack on an American city using biological weapons.

Steve and his wife share their home with two beautiful German Shepherds, a loving Golden Retriever, and four nocturnal cats. To support this beloved menagerie, along with four elderly, retired horses, he works as a Private Investigator (when he's not horseback riding or playing golf).
