The Assassin's House

By: Schwab, Ron

From the bestselling author of Dismal Trail and Old Dogs comes a sweeping historical Western of mystery, adventure, and unforgettable characters

Fort Riley cavalryman Chad Taylor returns to the Kansas Flint Hills expecting to decide whether his future lies with the Army or on his family's ranch. Instead, a chance meeting with young artist Frederic Remington and the discovery of an isolated limestone house draw him into a conspiracy far larger than either man imagined.

Someone is plotting to assassinate Secretary of War Robert Todd Lincoln during his visit to Kansas. Behind the conspiracy stands a mysterious man known as Jaeger, whose extraordinary gift for disguise has allowed him to hide in plain sight for years.

Assigned to Lincoln's security detail, Chad soon finds himself caught in a relentless pursuit that stretches from the lonely prairie to Fort Riley and beyond. With Remington at his side, he must confront an enemy who is never quite who he appears to be, testing Chad's courage, his judgment, and the future he hopes to build for himself.

Blending historical fiction with suspense, romance, and classic Western adventure, The Assassin's House is a story of loyalty, sacrifice, and ordinary people caught in extraordinary events-where not every face is the one it appears to be.
