THE RALSTON RECKONING

By Orris Slade

One map. One killer. No turning back.

At seven years old, Nate Ralston watched his parents die.

Fourteen years later, he returns to Colorado Territory with an old ranch, a faded map, and one purpose-to discover who murdered them.

But home is no longer the place Nate remembers.

Powerful rancher Cisco Chambers controls the county through fear, money, and a crooked sheriff. Men who challenge him have a habit of losing everything.

Then Nate learns his father left behind more than land. Somewhere in the mountains lies a hidden vein of gold-and Chambers has spent years searching for it.

With an old family friend at his side and courageous rancher Lucy Thornhill risking her life to help him, Nate begins closing in on the truth.

But Chambers knows he is coming.

And before justice can be served, Nate must survive the men determined to bury the last Ralston for good.
