Doctor With a Gun

By Richard Ferber

In a small mountain town where the mines never sleep, young doctor Matthew Kirby is on the verge of everything he's ever wanted: a practice, a future, and the hand of Judith Balfour, the woman he loves. But one night, a routine visit to the home of his patient's sister turns into a nightmare. Emily Wilder is found bleeding in the yard, and Kirby, alone and with no time to summon help, performs a desperate surgery that fails to save her.

What follows is a web of accusation and suspicion. Emily's husband, Brett Wilder, blames Kirby for her death, and her powerful father, Henry Balfour, threatens to destroy the young doctor's career. As Kirby tries to clear his name, he uncovers secrets that the town would rather keep buried-secrets involving Wilder's late-night visits to a rundown road ranch and the silhouette of a woman in an upstairs window.

Set against the rugged backdrop of a frontier valley, Doctor With a Gun is a gripping tale of love, betrayal, and the lengths a man will go to protect his honor.
