What if David Crockett survived the Alamo? Lonesome Dove meets The Da Vinci Code in this award-winning Western historical fiction mystery thriller.
1838. Silas Grant is preparing for life with the girl of his dreams. The resourceful sixteen-year-old is learning the blacksmith trade from his father and frontier skills from Texas Revolution veterans. But when the discovery of a portrait of David Crockett raises the possibility that the folk hero didn’t die two years earlier, Silas joins a quest for the truth.
Seizing a chance at redemption for the deaths of friends and family during the rebellion, Silas and his fellow Texians explore a world healing from the war. They investigate conflicting accounts of Alamo survivors, search for clues along the path of the Mexican army’s retreat, and pursue a witness to the battle’s final moments. The odyssey turns lethal as layers of the last stand’s mystery peel away to expose a shocking secret.
The gripping debut of the Silas Grant series is a meticulously researched adventure and love story set in the turbulent years of the Republic of Texas. If you enjoy visceral historical fiction in the tradition of Bernard Cornwell, gritty westerns in the tradition of Larry McMurtry, high-concept mystery thrillers in the tradition of Dan Brown, and Texas fiction in the tradition of Stephen Harrigan, you’ll love David Z. Pyke’s award-winning tale of redemption.

About the Author
Pyke began writing professionally in 1975 and has written for newspapers, magazines, and websites.
In 1991, a mutual friend introduced David to Suzanne, an English literature teacher from Missouri. Their first date was on a Friday the 13th. She later confessed that before that first date, she read some of his stories to make sure he could write. Apparently, he received a passing grade. They were engaged five months later, married four months after that, and in 2022 celebrated their 30th anniversary.
