A lawman rides into the desert. Only justice or death will bring him back.
The Arizona town of Promise has never lived up to its name. When Sheriff Wade Harper, a Civil War veteran seeking a quieter life, took the badge, he brought order to a place where lawlessness had reigned. Now, a brutal gang of outlaws has shattered that fragile peace, robbing the bank, gunning down anyone in their path, and kidnapping a woman as they flee into the unforgiving desert.
Harper gathers a small posse and sets out in pursuit, but the vast Arizona wilderness is as deadly as the men they are chasing. Scorching days give way to freezing nights. The horses are wearing down. Highwaymen and Indian raiding parties ambush them at every turn, and with each passing hour, the chances of finding the hostage alive grow slimmer. Frustrations boil over. Loyalties are tested. And the outlaws show no sign of slowing down.
In Broken Promise, Jack Scherm delivers a gritty, relentless Western that captures the brutal beauty of the frontier and the iron will of the men who dared to uphold the law. With time running out and every mile more punishing than the last, Harper must decide how much he is willing to sacrifice to keep the promise his town was built on.
