Solitario: The Way Of Water

By D. Peter Collins

In a dying desert town on the far edge of the frontier, one dog walks alone. Scarred, watchful, and forged by hardship, they call him Solitario-a mongrel with the heart of a warrior and the instincts of a survivor. When his beloved sister Loba and her newborn pups vanish without a trace, Solitario discovers a growing darkness haunting the West: a man known only as Trapman, whose passing leaves silence, fear, and missing dogs behind.

Determined to bring his family home, Solitario sets out across a harsh and unforgiving landscape where water is scarce, justice is fragile, and every shadow hides danger. Along the way he crosses paths with a Mormon pioneer family, a cowboy searching for his own stolen companion, and the brutal truths of a land where only grit, loyalty, and courage endure.
Told through the eyes of a dog who refuses to bow to fate, Solitario - The Way of Water is a sweeping Western odyssey about honor, survival, and the unbreakable bond between dogs and those who truly see them.
Perfect for readers who love Louis L'Amour, Larry McMurtry, Old West grit, and heartfelt tales of loyal dogs.
