Former Deputy U.S. Marshal Gideon Hawk finds trouble ahead in the third Rogue Lawman novel from Peter Brandvold. Gideon Hawk gives some bounty hunters a lethal lesson in how reputations are made when a beautiful prostitute latches on to him. With this excess baggage, Hawk has to outride some determined soldiers who believe that she’s their property. Called the “devil’s whore,” Estella more than lives up to her name, and Hawk is happy when an apparently decent troop of soldiers takes her off his hands. But the soldiers are carrying payroll money and don’t get very far before the blaze of gunfire proves that things are not what they appear to be. Now, Hawk must save Estella and prove once again that trouble comes in many different shades—all of them blood-red…

Fighting the good fight is enough reason for former deputy marshal Gideon Hawk to get in on the action. But when the defenseless are involved, it gets personal for the Rogue Lawman… Brazos got off lucky this time. His Pa, Blue Tierney, saved him from receiving due justice at the hands of a hangman in Trinity Ridge. Which means the Tierneys and their gang are continuing to roam free spreading their terror… What this town needs is a temporary lawman who exhibits little diplomacy when it comes to doling out justice—and Gideon Hawk is that man. Not everyone is sure of him though, especially a hard-nosed yet fetching schoolteacher and some shady businessmen… Like most hardened outlaws, the Tierneys don’t take kindly to getting pushed out of their territory, and they put up a damned good fight. But Gideon won’t back down until he has them strung up from the gallows they once escaped…

Known as the Rogue Lawman, he serves his own brand of justice by carving his way through the West, leaving fallen criminals in his wake… This time it’s Hawk who’s been tracked down. The same governors who had a death warrant on Hawk’s head now desperately need his help to end the bloody carnage sweeping the Southwest… A gang of merciless Apaches, along with their leader, a turncoat called Wilbur “Knife-Hand” Monjosa, are on the loose. Losing his hand to a Mojave axe, Monjosa replaced his bloody stump with a razor-sharp knife. He’s a savage who’ll cut down anything in his way… Knife-Hand can only be matched with the kind of ruthlessness that burns within the Rogue Lawman. Monjosa’s killer instinct is as sharp as his hand, but Hawk’s fighting with something mightier than anything in Knife-Hand’s artillery—a personal vendetta…

He won’t stop until he claims what is his… Years have passed since Tyler Posey last saw Kace Cade. Fifteen years ago, he was a relationship-shy boy with deep dimples who stole her heart right out of her chest. When an opportunity came knocking she went in search of her dreams, but destiny brought her back home to Bohannan, Wyoming—and to Kace who is no longer shy or a boy. In fact, he turned into quite the man. Being Sheriff had its ups and downs, but Kace liked the challenge. Although he considered his life on track, there was something missing—and her name was Tyler. Not a day had gone by that he hadn’t thought about her, wondered if he’d made the right choice in letting her go. Now that he had a second chance at loving Tyler, he had to make things right by helping her find closure in her sister’s death. Ruled a suicide, Tyler never believed that could be possible, and neither did Kace, not after new clues came to light. When secrets and truth start to unfold, and Tyler’s safety is in danger, Kace will need to find the answers before trouble finds Tyler. The biggest question, who is branding people like they’re cattle? And why? The answers could be where they least expect them…
