From the award-winning author of The Arkansas River comes a thrilling story following a young man on the run in the Old West, wanted for a murder that he didn't commit, and in pursuit of the real killer.

Young Jed Brand is on the run. He's wanted for cattle rustling and three killings, and the harder he rides, the more mayhem and murder he has to his name. The problem is, he's not the one doing it.

Silas Colter is as cold and cunning as any other lifelong lawbreaker. After he suckered in Dan and Jed Brand to help drive stolen cattle to Abilene, the scheme went bad, with Colter killing Dan and two lawmen—and leaving Jed to hang. Now, he's assumed Jed's identity to cut a swath of blood through the West.

To avenge his brother and clear his name, Jed hunts the vicious Colter across the plains, dodging bounty hunters and a relentless US Marshal whose motives are as personal as Jed's. All Jed knows is that if he ever wants to see the end of the Owlhoot Trail, someone's going to have to die.
