Ambush Range

AMBUSH RANGE

A stolen herd. A murdered ranch hand. A trail that disappears in the Nebraska Sand Hills.

Former U.S. Marshal and bounty hunter Eldridge Sample knows the difference between a simple cattle theft and something much bigger.

When ranch foreman Clete Barden is murdered and forty head of valuable Hereford cattle disappear from Murl Tackett's ranch, Eldridge is hired to bring in the man responsible — outlaw and cattleman Darvin Prater. But the trail quickly reveals that Prater is only one piece of a much larger operation. 

The stolen cattle have vanished into the vast Nebraska Sand Hills, where tracks disappear, landmarks shift, and a man can ride for days without knowing if he is getting closer or farther away. To find them, Eldridge must rely on instinct, experience, and the knowledge of the people who understand this unforgiving country. 

Following the trail leads him to hidden water routes, dangerous riders, and a cattle syndicate with powerful connections. Behind the stolen herd is a network of forged paperwork, dirty money, and men willing to kill to protect their secrets. 

But Eldridge Sample has spent his life hunting men who believe they can disappear.

And the Sand Hills have a way of revealing what men try to hide.

Perfect for fans of classic Westerns, gritty cowboy adventures, historical Western fiction, bounty hunter novels, frontier mysteries, and action-packed Western thrillers.

Eldridge Sample doesn't chase rumors.
He follows the trail.
And every trail ends somewhere.

AMBUSH RANGE — a hard-riding Western adventure where justice comes one step at a time.
