On Piedmont's Plot

In this gripping page-turner, Isaac LaPlace, a bounty hunter in the old West of Washington Territory, finds himself caught between what he knows of the law and what he suspects of the truth. Set in 1886, On Piedmont's Plot is nevertheless a stark, pitch-perfect tale for our complex times.


For the past two decades Isaac LaPlace has worked as a bounty hunter all across the expansive inland Northwest. But as the thrill of shooting bad men or making them face to their crimes has worn thin, Isaac comes to confront a deeper truth; that obtaining justice often comes at the price of peace, and the price of peace so often comes at the cost of justice.


When Isaac is called to bring in a boy accused of murder his disenfranchisement at last comes to a head, and Isaac must finally face his role in the order of things; and decide whether and how he can uphold the rule of law.
