Justice in Deadman's Creek (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798293379088)

One Texas Ranger. One town. One chance.

Jules Brady was once a Texas Ranger who made outlaws tremble. Now, he's just another broken man with a bad hand and worse luck. After gambling away his ranch-and watching his marriage crumble with it-Jules wanders the brutal Texas plains with nothing but regret in his saddlebag.

When a string of brutal murders pulls him into the troubled town of Deadman's Creek, Jules expects nothing more than another dead end. But what he finds is a land strangled by fear and ruled by Stanley Bradshaw-a ruthless cattle baron whose reach is as wide as the prairie sky. Sheriff Ducker is Bradshaw's puppet, the townsfolk are silenced by terror, and the law? Buried in the dust.

Yet one spark remains: Allie Berkshire, the sharp-minded schoolteacher with fire in her eyes and vengeance in her heart. With her help, Jules unravels the mystery of a sinister new cattle brand-the Iron Brand-and the deadly secrets it carries.

But in a land where lead speaks louder than law, can Jules ignite a rebellion before the land-and his self-worth-are lost forever?
