Grave of the Winter Wolf. ZEBEDEE TITUS, #5

He rode beside him once. Now he must stop him. When settlers begin vanishing along the upper timberline, Zebedee Titus recognizes the pattern long before others do. The killings are precise. The cabins burned clean. The message unmistakable. Winter Wolf has returned. Once a partner in the wild years before law and fences, Winter Wolf believes the mountains belong only to those strong enough to live without mercy.
To him, homesteaders are invaders. Mercy is weakness. And Zeb is a traitor. As spring thaw exposes old graves and older loyalties, Zeb must face the one man who knows his past - and the choices that shaped it. In the high country, the hardest battle is not against the cold. It's against the man you might have become.
