CASCADES

A Western Thriller of Land, Power, and Blood on the Frontier

Retirement isn't in the cards for men like Sample.

Not when powerful men are drawing lines on maps-and killing anyone who stands on them.

When former lawman Sample arrives in Oregon Territory, he expects a simple job: help a wagon family secure their land claim and move on. But something isn't right.

Claims with valuable timber are being delayed.

Survey lines don't add up.

And a quiet pattern is forming-one that points to a hidden land grab stretching across the Cascades.

Then the first warning arrives.

And the second.

By the time Sample sees the full picture, it's already in motion:

A powerful investment firm buying land ahead of a secret railroad route.

A corrupt system manipulating federal claims.

And a ruthless enforcer with federal authority riding hard to bring Sample down.

Now the clock is ticking.

To stop the scheme, Sample must:

Uncover a conspiracy buried in land records and survey mapsOutmaneuver a network of wealthy speculators and political influenceAnd face a relentless hunter who never misses his mark

Because in the Cascades, land is power.

And power is worth killing for.
