Award-winning author Terrence McCauley, known for his traditional Westerns infused with crime fiction, introduces a new series featuring Deputy U.S. Marshal Jeremiah Halstead. Set in Silver Cloud, Montana—a mining town ripe for fortune and fraught with danger—Halstead quickly finds himself in peril. While escorting notorious outlaw John Hudson for trial, he is ambushed by Hudson's gang. Outnumbered but determined, Halstead manages to take down a couple of attackers without surrendering. Hudson, seeking refuge in Silver Cloud, creates tension among the townspeople, who are unhappy with their unwelcome guests. With no support from the sheriff, Halstead stands alone against Hudson's gang as they infiltrate the town, seeking to free their leader. Among them is Ed Zimmerman, who has long lived in Hudson's shadow and desires to eliminate him to claim leadership of the gang. Driven by ambition, Zimmerman is willing to resort to extreme measures, threatening the lives of everyone in Silver Cloud, including Halstead. The stage is set for a gripping confrontation where loyalty, ambition, and survival collide in a battle for control.
