Dakota Armbruster only meant to stop long enough to have his horse shod. Then a desperate woman asked him to find her missing husband.
Rattlesnake Crossing is a cattle town holding its breath. Homesteaders are disappearing. Fences are being cut. Livestock is being driven across claims in the night. And nobody seems willing to speak too loudly about the Circle V ranch or the men who ride for it.
Sarah Pierson refuses to believe her husband simply abandoned his land, his livelihood, and his best horse. Sheriff Amos Whitener would rather keep the peace than ask dangerous questions. And Dakota has spent enough years on the frontier to know when fear has become more powerful than the law.
He has no badge, no reason to stay, and no desire to become part of another town's troubles. But the deeper he looks, the harder it becomes to ride away. Because someone in Rattlesnake Crossing has learned that intimidation works best when decent people remain silent-and Dakota Armbruster has never been very good at looking the other way.
RATTLESNAKE CROSSING is a grounded, hard-driving Classic Western about land, fear, violence, and the price of standing up when everyone else has learned to keep quiet.
