Hideout Valley

A $12,000 bounty follows Jim Bannister wherever he rides—but in Hideout Valley, the greatest danger isn't the law.

Still living under the false name of Jim Bryan, Bannister has found a temporary refuge as acting town marshal in the snowbound mining town of Morgantown. With the mountain passes blocked by winter, it's the closest thing to peace he's known since being falsely convicted of murder.

But peace never lasts.

When a drunken cattle baron is brutally assaulted, old feuds erupt across Morgan Valley. Powerful ranchers circle like wolves, a vast empire teeters on the brink of collapse, and whispers of greed, revenge, and murder threaten to ignite an all-out range war. As the only lawman standing between order and chaos, Bannister is drawn into a deadly struggle where every decision could cost lives.

Then his greatest secret resurfaces.

A long-forgotten wanted poster reveals the true identity of the man everyone knows as Jim Bryan. With bounty hunters, ambitious rivals, and desperate killers closing in, Bannister must fight not only to keep the peace—but to stay one step ahead of the noose waiting for him.

Fast-paced, richly authentic, and packed with gunfights, intrigue, and unforgettable characters, Hideout Valley is another gripping adventure in D. B. Newton's acclaimed Jim Bannister series—classic Western storytelling at its very best.
