Shadows of the Bighorns
He buried his guns to build a life. But the past has a shovel.
Tom Walter is a man running on borrowed time. To the people of Sheridan, Wyoming, he is a quiet, hardworking rancher-a man who fixes roofs, mends fences, and loves his wife, the fiery and resilient Roberta, with a devotion that defies the harsh frontier. He is a pillar of the community, a father, and a friend.
But Tom Walter is a lie.
Decades ago, he was "Texas Tom," a legendary outlaw and the fastest gun in the territory-a ghost who robbed banks without a tremble in his hand. He walked away from that life, burying his name and his Colt Peacemaker in exchange for a chance at redemption in the shadow of the Bighorn Mountains.
For years, the peace holds. But in the lawless West, legends rarely die quietly. When old enemies surface from the dust of his history, and federal lawmen begin circling like vultures, Tom finds his sanctuary under siege. Blackmailers, bounty hunters, and the ruthless expansion of a cattle syndicate threaten to tear down the home he has built log by log.
With a federal warrant hanging over his head and a debt that money alone cannot pay, Tom must decide how far he is willing to go to protect his family. If he picks up the gun, he confirms the legend and loses his soul. If he stays his hand, he loses his life.
In a town that believes in second chances, Tom Walter is about to find out if a man can ever truly wash the blood from his hands-or if the only way to save his future is to resurrect the monster from his past.
