They have gold in their saddlebags and the army on their tail, and they need a place to lay low. Letting them inside is the worst mistake the Whittaker brothers will ever make.

The soldiers unload on the cabin, peppering it with a hundred rounds of ammunition, and killing everyone inside except Rincon. They have their prisoner—but they don’t find the gold.When Ben Flowers settles in the territory, he’s told the cabin is haunted by the men killed that night.

And worse, Turndale took Owen’s sister captive as his prize.   Now, amidst the growing unrest and hostilities between the new Americans pushing ever westward and the native Indians who have trusted too many broken treaties, Owen must find a way to save his sister and avenge his family.   “Judd writes a mean story.” —Zane Grey’s West
