Ryder - Hell for Hire: Classic Western Novel

By Wyatt Steele

A wagon full of secrets. A trail soaked in blood. One man who never asked to be the hero.

Ryder is a drifter. A loner. The kind of man who doesn't ask questions-and doesn't answer many either. When he signs on to ride scout for a small wagon train bound for Abilene, it seems like just another job.

But the people he's riding with?
They're not what they seem.
And the crates they're hauling?
They're worth killing for.

Before long, Ryder's neck-deep in a deadly game of betrayal, sabotage, and buried Confederate gold. One by one, the travelers turn on each other-some out of greed, others out of fear. And watching from the ridgelines are men with rifles... waiting for the right time to strike.

But there's one thing they didn't count on.

Ryder doesn't run.

With nothing but grit, a fast Colt, and a growing bond with a sharp-eyed girl and a boy with too much heart for the trail, Ryder stands between survival and slaughter.

Because when the shooting starts, there's no law left but lead-and no mercy in a place where everyone has a price.

A brutal, blood-soaked western for fans of Louis L'Amour, The Sisters Brothers, and Lonesome Dove.
