Death in the Canyon

From Award-winning author, Mike Stotter, comes his first book written under the byline of Jim A. Nelson. In Montana, Big Sky Country, the threat of a ranch war over a new breed of cattle hangs over The Leaning B and the DR ranches. Bloodshed was the last thing on everyone's mind but nevertheless blood is spilt. Hired gunman Will Calhoun soon finds himself elevated to the job of co-owner of The Leaning B, and that's when the real trouble begins. Fists fly and lead kisses the air as the threatened ranch war grows ever closer. Calhoun finds himself the target of death threats from mystery quarters but the question remains: would he and those around him survive the bloody struggle?
