The Last Ride To Red Mesa

The Last Ride to Red Mesa Casey Alicia

Some debts take twenty years to collect. Some secrets take a bullet to bury.

When Sheriff Eli Mercer rides into Red Mesa with Jacob Whitmore's body draped across a horse, he expects a straightforward murder. What he finds instead is a wound that has been festering for two decades - a wound carved in gold, sealed in silence, and paid for in blood.

Twenty years ago, five men rode into Black Canyon. Only two came out. The survivors built their fortunes and their reputations on what happened in those shadows, and for twenty years, a town looked the other way. But now Whitmore is dead, killed with a knife no one was supposed to recognize, and Mercer is left to untangle a conspiracy that reaches from a widow's cold parlor to a preacher's guilty conscience to a dying man who rode a thousand miles just to look his father in the eye one last time.

The Last Ride to Red Mesa is a Western mystery that asks the question every lawman eventually faces: when the law has already failed, is justice still possible - or is it just another name for revenge?

Perfect for fans of Larry McMurtry, Elmore Leonard, and True Grit, this atmospheric debut weaves a tightly plotted murder investigation with a moral reckoning that lingers long after the final page.
