    About this ebook

    A young frontier rancher must protect his family and avenge his father’s murder in this gritty Western noir.

    Ethan Wilder has been off in the mountains hunting for the last several months. Upon his return to the family Bar Five Ranch, he finds his family in chaos. His brother Ben has taken his father’s rifle without permission and locked the old man in the outhouse to avoid punishment. Meanwhile, his brother Vic is in jail, accused of beating up a girl in town. But all of this pales in comparison to what comes next.

    One of the first men to settle the area, Ethan’s father Jacob has acquired a bad reputation with the town’s newcomers. These citizens have been pushing for the removal of “hell raisers” like the Wilders. And when Jacob is among the local farmers found dead under suspicious circumstances, it’s up to Ethan to avenge his father, uphold the family name, and ensure that the murderers won’t come for him next.

    Michael Zimmer

    Michael Zimmer, an American history enthusiast from a very early age, has done extensive research on the Old West. In addition to perusing firsthand accounts from the period, Zimmer is also a firm believer in field interpretation. He’s made it a point to master many of the skills used by our forefathers: he can start a campfire with flint and steel, and he can gather, prepare, and survive on natural foods found in the wilderness. Zimmer lives in Utah with his wife, Vanessa, and two dogs.
