Rattlesnake Hollow earned its name the hard way. The dust hides more than tracks. And the men who run the town strike without warning. Deputy Wade Braddock wears a badge that's grown lighter by the day. The law in Rattlesnake Hollow bends toward the powerful, and too many graves have been dug for men who simply spoke out of turn. When a respected ranch hand is murdered and the evidence disappears overnight, Wade understands what he's truly up against-a wealthy cattle baron who owns the saloon, the bank, and just about every frightened soul in between.
Wade never set out to be the last honest man in town. But when intimidation turns to bloodshed, and an innocent family is forced from their homestead, he makes a choice that can't be undone. He'll stand. Even if it means facing hired guns alone in the middle of Main Street. In Rattlesnake Hollow, justice doesn't come easy.
