Hollow Trail
By Harlan Boone Cartwright

Sometimes the trail home is the one you never meant to ride.

Elijah Creed has spent twenty-three years chasing outlaws, ghosts, and justice that rarely wears a badge. But when a letter from the Idaho Territory names his daughter as a wanted fugitive, he trades his Pinkerton past for a rope, a photograph, and a trail he hoped never to ride again.

Marla Blackthorn-alias Mick-is armed, dangerous, and disappearing into the mountain snow with secrets that could bury a town. The law wants her alive. The telegram says she's blood. Elijah doesn't know which is more dangerous.

From Denver's shadowed alleys to the icy heart of Dry Creek, Hollow Trail is a gripping Western steeped in grit, regret, and redemption. With prose as weathered and resonant as the high plains themselves, Cartwright delivers a powerful tale of a bounty hunter haunted by duty, kinship, and the ghosts of a country that won't let go.

Perfect for fans of Cormac McCarthy, Elmore Leonard, and Charles Portis, this is a Western that lingers-like gun smoke in a cold wind.
