Crimson Dust

Court-martialled for a mistake that wasn’t his, Jeff Denver is a man in search of vengeance. Since being discharged from the Confederate Army, Denver has been following the trail of the three traitors who had wronged him and every other man in his cavalry detachment. But they always seem to be one step ahead. Sunburnt and saddle-sore, the trail leads Denver to a nester’s house on the outskirts of Culver Creek where he meets Hal Fenner and his beautiful daughter, Susan. Gunsmoke hangs in the air and it soon transpires that they have a mutual enemy – ranch-owner Cal Marsden and his gang of outlawed gunmen, who rule the land with fear and violence. Until now, nobody dared stand up to them. But that was before Denver arrived. Low on numbers, the nesters alone cannot take on the brute force of the Marsden gang but with a gunman as fast as Denver, can they come up with a plan to even the score? And will Denver be able to rediscover the trail and finally gain retribution for the crimes he fell victim to in the past? 'A thrilling read.' - Robert Foster, acclaimed author of The Lunar Code.
