Synopsis
Josiah Vane thought he could outrun his past. Seven years ago, he walked away from a Nevada land job that left a woman dead. Since then, he's been taking work where he finds it, trusting no one but the dog at his side. Moss Fork was supposed to be another stop. A broken livery with quiet work and no questions. Until a drunk points at him and calls him the name. Graham Hollis — the man a powerful woman has been hunting for years. Edith Lowe owns the mill, the town, and every man in it. When she decides Josiah is Hollis, that's the end of it. Her enforcer doesn't need proof, just a body. Josiah has spent years running from one mistake. Now he's trapped inside another man's lie. The only way out is to force the truth into the open before it kills him. But Moss Fork runs on loyalty, fear, and silence. Josiah is a stranger with a dog and a word no one believes. Except, perhaps, Lenore Strauss. The only packer who doesn't answer to Edith, with her own reasons to want the truth. What happens when the only man who can clear your name is already dead? A classic Western novel from Frank Wheeler, blending epic adventure with Western romance. Each novel in the series is a standalone Western adventure that can be read in any order.
