Blood on the Cimarron - Mark Collins

A wanted man. A bounty worth killing for. And a truth someone is willing to bury an entire town to keep hidden.

New Mexico Territory, 1878. When bounty hunter Cass Rourke rides into Sabine Crossing to collect a $2,000 reward for Silas Bodeen - accused of gunning down a federal marshal and vanishing with a railroad payroll - it looks like the easiest money he's made in years. All he has to do is bring in one desperate man, dead or alive.

But the trail doesn't add up. A widow who swears her husband never doubted Bodeen's character. A daughter who'd rather die than betray a father she knows is innocent. A rival bounty hunter burning homesteads to flush his prey - paid, it seems, by someone with far deeper pockets than a robbed strongbox could explain.

The closer Cass gets to the truth, the further he strays from the job he was hired to do - and the more he risks becoming the next name on somebody's wanted list. Because in a territory where the railroad owns the law and the law owes the railroad, asking the wrong question can be as deadly as pulling the wrong trigger.

BLOOD ON THE CIMARRON is a lean, hard-riding Western about the price of chasing the truth when the truth doesn't pay - and about a man who has to decide whether the debt he owes his own conscience matters more than the one he owes the bank.

What readers will find inside:

- A morally driven bounty-hunter hero who follows the evidence even when it costs him everything

- A slow-burn conspiracy stretching from a burned homestead to a railroad superintendent's office

- Fast, unglamorized gunfights and a villain who never has to raise his voice to be dangerous

- A fierce, capable heroine who is nobody's damsel

- A satisfying frontier justice ending, earned the hard way

Perfect for readers of Western fiction who want grit, conscience, and a mystery worth riding hard for.
