The River Left Him Alive
Shot in the back by the friend he called a brother, shot again by the woman he loved, and thrown into the Rio Grande, outlaw Billy Baskins survives only to discover his name is being used for murder-forcing him back into a bloody hunt for truth, revenge, and the man he might still become.
They shot Billy Baskins twice and fed him to the Rio Grande.
The river gave him back.
Billy Baskins was never an innocent man. He stole horses, robbed payrolls, carried a gun, and built a name people learned to fear.
But he never expected Hank Williams-the friend who had been closer than a brother-to put a bullet in his back.
He never expected Janie Harrow, the woman he loved, to fire the second.
And he never expected to wake in the shack of Tracy Marrow, a scarred former lawman too stubborn to let him die.
Then Billy learns the betrayal didn't end at the river.
While he lay fevered and broken, men kept robbing, extorting, and killing under his name. Wanted posters blame him for murders he could not have committed. His reputation has become a weapon, and the people who tried to bury him are using the legend of Billy Baskins to build something far bigger-and bloodier-than the outlaw gang he once led.
Now Billy must ride back into a country that already thinks he's dead.
To uncover the truth, he'll have to hunt former friends, confront the woman whose bullet scar he still carries, survive hired guns and bought loyalties, and face the one question revenge cannot answer:
When every man on your list is finally dead, what is left of you?
Gritty, violent, darkly funny, and deeply human, THE RIVER LEFT HIM ALIVE is a Western revenge novel about brotherhood turned poisonous, love that survives terrible choices, the brutal price of mercy, and an outlaw discovering that living with what he's done may take more courage than pulling the trigger.
