Twin Aces

Twin Aces

They took his freedom. They tried to take his life. But they made one mistake: they left him with four aces and a shotgun.

Rip Campbell is an ex-con with a reputation that clears sidewalks and closes doors. Fresh out of Deer Lodge prison for a cattle rustling crime he didn't commit, he returns to the hostile town of Landusky, Montana, with nothing but the clothes on his back and a quitclaim deed to the Twin Aces Ranch-a prize won in a high-stakes poker game against a card sharp.

But the ranch isn't just land and water; it's a crime scene.

The former owner, "Locoed" Dave Jones, is a shattered man, haunted by a brutal beating and terrified of the moon. He is the only witness to a cold-blooded murder committed by the town's true power: corrupt Deputy Sheriff West Richmond and the ruthless Jarvis brothers. They framed Rip once to silence the truth, and now they want the Twin Aces to complete their empire.

When Dave's estranged daughter, Dodie Jones, rides into the crossfire, she expects to find a thief squatting on her father's legacy. Instead, she finds a man digging in for a siege. As the noose tightens and night falls over the badlands, Rip, Dodie, and a broken old man must stand together against an army of hired guns.

In a land where the law is bought and paid for, justice isn't handed down by a judge. It's delivered at dawn, one bullet at a time.

Perfect for fans of Elmore Leonard, John D. MacDonald, and Lonesome Dove, Twin Aces is a hard-boiled Western adventure about the price of silence and the weight of redemption.
