Remedy at Bitter Creek

By Tom Heston

In the raw boomtown of Bitter Creek, the deadliest enemy isn't a hired gun. It's the water.

Armed with European medical training and a pocket microscope, Dr. Zebulon "Zeb" Ashford arrives in the American West ready to heal. But when a devastating typhoid outbreak ravages the community, Zeb traces the deadly contagion to the local creek-poisoned by the massive cattle operation of Elias Stroud.

Dismissive of modern science, the powerful cattle king refuses to change his methods and brings in a ruthless gunman to force the town into submission. Standing alongside the local sheriff, Zeb refuses to back down. He doesn't rely on a fast draw; he fights the epidemic with boiled water, fresh air, and raw civil engineering.

But when the fever strikes Stroud's own daughter, Zeb's methods face their ultimate test. To save the community, he must battle a microscopic killer and the stubborn pride of a desperate father.

Remedy at Bitter Creek is a gripping historical medical thriller that trades traditional shootouts for the high-stakes battle of 1880s frontier medicine. Discover a new kind of Western hero who proves that clean hands and steady numbers can save more lives than bullets ever could.
