He came to see his brother. He found a grave.
Ransom Teague has spent years trying to outride his reputation as a gunfighter. When a three-month-old letter finds him in the New Mexico wilderness, he rides six hundred miles to help the brother who raised him. He arrives too late. Lucas Teague has been hanged from a cottonwood, branded a cattle thief by persons unknown, leaving a widow, two children, and a ranch nobody expects them to hold through a San Juan winter.
Ransom stays to find out who killed his brother. He makes allies of a proud Mexican sheep rancher fighting to save his family's land grant, a former buffalo soldier turned blacksmith, a green young deputy with a conscience, and a profane old mountain man. He finds an unexpected bond with Teresa Archuleta, a sharp-minded woman who despises gunmen and can outthink any lawyer in Santa Fe.
As the war turns bloodier, Ransom learns the hardest truth of all: the man who sold his brother is still smiling at him across a dinner table. To finish it, he will have to survive a winter chase through the high San Juans, a blizzard that kills as surely as a bullet, and a dawn reckoning on a frozen street with Lafe Dutcher, the friend whose life he once saved and the only gun in the West faster than his own.
Blood on the Animas is a gritty, action-packed Western in the classic tradition, full of hard country, hard men, grounded violence, and a love story that is all the more powerful for being quiet. Readers of Louis L'Amour, Elmer Kelton, and Larry McMurtry will find a new name to follow.
