Award-winning, critically acclaimed author Terrence McCauley has
drawn comparisons to Elmore Leonard for his skilled writing of
traditional historical Westerns with a crime fiction soul. Now be brings
his signature historical accuracy, three-dimensional characters, and
non-stop, adrenaline-fueled action to the second Jeremiah Halstead
Western. He may be the newest Deputy Marshal in the Montana Territory,
but it doesn't take long for him to find himself in a mess of
trouble...
"McCauley's Westerns move at a pace that leaves readers sweating and
out of breath. Blood on the Trail is one wild, entertaining ride."
--Johnny D. Boggs
Deputy U.S. Marshal Jeremiah Halstead keeps the peace in the mining
town of Silver Cloud, Montana. But an old enemy has declared war against
him.
Ruthless and clever, Ed Zimmerman would have become the leader of one of
the west's deadliest and hell-bent outlaw gangs. Zimmerman has offered a
generous bounty to every desperado willing to put a bullet through the
U.S. Deputy Marshal's heart.
A death sentence won't stop Halstead from enforcing the law. The sheriff
of Battle Brook needs a hand dealing with some hell-raising badmen in
the surrounding hills, threatening to take over the frontier town.
Joined by Deputy Sandborne, Halstead rides hard for Battle Brook only to
discover manhunters aware of the price on his head are in town, guns
cocked and ready to collect the reward.
And Zimmerman has joined the outlaws in the hills, waiting to catch
Halstead in his sights. . .
