He was a legend hiding in plain sight. A man of iron will who walked the line between justice and survival, his story forged in the crucible of the American West and then systematically erased from its history.
Born into slavery, Bass Reeves escaped to the unforgiving wilderness of Indian Territory, where he learned the languages of the tribes and honed his skills as a master tracker. When the law called, he answered, pinning on the silver star of a Deputy U.S. Marshal-one of the first Black men to do so west of the Mississippi.
Over a thirty-two-year career, he would become the most successful and feared lawman of his time, a brilliant detective who used cunning disguises and profound psychological insight to bring more than 3,000 outlaws to justice. He was a man of principle, so dedicated to his duty that he was forced to hunt and arrest his own son.
The Price of Justice is an epic historical novel that brings the true story of Bass Reeves to life, from his early days in bondage to his relentless pursuit of the frontier's most dangerous fugitives. It is a gripping, immersive story of a man who navigated the razor's edge of racial prejudice and Wild West violence, a man whose real-life exploits were so extraordinary they would inspire the myth of the Lone Ranger. This is not just the story of a forgotten hero; it is a powerful, timely rediscovery of an American legend.
