Award-winning author Terrence McCauley, known for his traditional Westerns infused with crime fiction, introduces a new series featuring Deputy U.S. Marshal Jeremiah Halstead. Set in Silver Cloud, Montana—a mining town ripe for fortune and fraught with danger—Halstead quickly finds himself in peril. While escorting notorious outlaw John Hudson for trial, he is ambushed by Hudson's gang. Outnumbered but determined, Halstead manages to take down a couple of attackers without surrendering. Hudson, seeking refuge in Silver Cloud, creates tension among the townspeople, who are unhappy with their unwelcome guests. With no support from the sheriff, Halstead stands alone against Hudson's gang as they infiltrate the town, seeking to free their leader. Among them is Ed Zimmerman, who has long lived in Hudson's shadow and desires to eliminate him to claim leadership of the gang. Driven by ambition, Zimmerman is willing to resort to extreme measures, threatening the lives of everyone in Silver Cloud, including Halstead. The stage is set for a gripping confrontation where loyalty, ambition, and survival collide in a battle for control.

The sun has finally set on the violent hellstorm that fell on Dover Station, Montana, like a scourge. But when disaster returns, it falls to a lawman armed with a fistful of vengeance to make things right once more . . .

Dover Station, Montana, is no place for a lawman. A sheriff's badge ain't worth a nickel here -- unless you've got the bullets to back it up . . .

Dover Station, Montana, is no place for a lawman. A sheriff’s badge ain’t worth a nickel here—unless you’ve got the bullets to back it up . . . When he signed up to be sheriff of this dirty little boomtown, Aaron Mackey knew he was asking for trouble. Once, when Mackey was the U.S. marshal for the whole Montana Territory, he swore no job could get any harder. But that was before he took down a few of the bank-robbing Hancock—and incurred the wrath of the gang’s maniacal matriarch, Mad Nellie Hancock. And that was before every avenging outlaw and hired henchmen came crawling out of the woodwork to kill him—in the meanest, bloodiest showdown the town had ever seen . . . Aaron Mackey knows you can’t fight city hall. But you can flush out every kill-crazy outlaw, greedy grifter, and boomtown rat—then exterminate with extreme prejudice . . . “McCauley’s more than a fair hand at Westerns . . . with nonstop action.” —Roundup Magazine on Where the Bullets Fly “Comes out guns blazing from the very first page and doesn't let up until the action-packed finale . . . a real page-turner.” —True West “A captivating western . . . the setting is harsh and even the violence is gratifying.” —Booklist, STARRED review on Dark Territory

"At long last, U.S. Marshal Aaron Mackey and Deputy Billy Sunday will see crime baron James Grant and his kill-crazy cronies stand trial for the mayhem and suffering they unleashed on the people of Dover Station. But as Montana Territory's statehood is approaching, murdering devils like Grant can no longer be tolerated in positions of political power. Or can they? Montana's capital of Helena follows its own set of laws--laws that not only set Grant free, but give peacekeeping authority to a sadistic murdering gunslinger like Colonel Warren Bell, Mackey's commanding officer during the war. The city's leaders prefer keeping killers like Grant and Bell under their thumbs. Mackey knows there's no controlling these bloodthirsty madmen. And if they think they're above the law, then Mackey and Billy will just have to appoint themselves judge, jury, and executioners ..."-- Publisher's description
