Sweetwater Trail

SWEETWATER TRAIL
An Epic Western Thriller of Justice, Pursuit, and Survival on the Oregon Trail

Former U.S. Marshal Eldridge Sample came to Kansas looking for easy bounty money. Instead, he finds something far more dangerous.

A desperate wagon party is preparing to head west late in the season, racing snow, starvation, and the unforgiving mountains before winter closes the passes. They need a guide. They need protection. What they get is Sample—a hard man with a sharp eye, a bad knee, and a lifetime of knowing trouble when he sees it.

Among the travelers is Calhoun Doss, a quiet drifter with a murder warrant hanging over his head. Back in Ohio, powerful men want him dragged home to face justice. But Sample knows the difference between justice and revenge.

Now six armed bounty hunters are on their trail. The weather is turning. Supplies are thin. And every mile west pushes them deeper into lawless country where one mistake can bury them all.

To keep the wagon train alive, Sample must outthink killers, outrun the winter, and decide how far a man should go when the law itself has gone rotten.

Sweetwater Trail is a gripping frontier suspense novel packed with gunfighters, wagon trains, bounty hunters, trail danger, rugged landscapes, and the brutal choices that define the Old West. Perfect for fans of Louis L'Amour, Cormac McCarthy, Elmore Leonard westerns, and gritty historical action adventure.
