Dead Wash

DEAD WASHThe town was supposed to be empty. Mercer Sample rolled into Silver Creek expecting another stretch of lonely highway and desert heat. Instead, he found a town burning to the ground, bodies in the streets, and fresh graves hidden behind a line of mesquite bushes. Someone had robbed a cartel cash drop. Someone had slaughtered an entire town to cover it up. The killers belong to the Desert Skulls, a ruthless outlaw motorcycle gang led by Silas "Preacher" Stone-a violent kingpin with plans that reach far beyond a single robbery.
With millions in stolen cartel money, a convoy of armed killers, and a border crossing waiting ahead, Stone believes every witness is dead. He's wrong. Hidden beneath the floorboards of a burning church, Mercer discovers a woman and six children who survived the massacre. Now they're the only witnesses left alive. To keep them breathing, Mercer must guide them across a hundred miles of unforgiving badlands while Stone and his hunters close in from every direction.
Outgunned, outnumbered, and racing against time, Mercer turns the desert into a battlefield where every canyon, dry wash, and abandoned road becomes part of the fight. Because some debts can't be ignored. And some massacres demand a reckoning. DEAD WASH is a hard-driving modern western thriller packed with relentless action, desert survival, outlaw bikers, cartel violence, deadly manhunts, and a lone drifter willing to stand against impossible odds.
Perfect for fans of C. J. Box, Craig Johnson, Jack Carr, Lee Child, and gritty modern western suspense.
