It was an hour before he finally caught sight of the bandits. Jude shot first… and last. When it was over, he picked up the boy he found sitting in the dark, silently crying over his murdered family. He covered the boy with a blanket and took him to the sheriff.
“With his parents dead, what will happen to him?” Jude asked.
“Nobody wants him. He’s damaged goods,” answered Sheriff Tusk.
Jude looked at the sleeping boy. “I’ll take him.”
Sheriff Tusk scoffed. “How are you gonna take care of a kid? You can barely take care of yourself.”
“I’ll manage. I always do.”
Tusk wiped his sweating brow with the back of his forearm. “Keep him then. What do I care? He’s your problem now.”
Jude Bishop never quite fit in.
People think his boy is odd. Remy doesn’t talk, but he understands the world better than people think.
When they cross paths with outlaw Doyle Hobbs, their peaceful life is shattered.
In this deadly game of deception, will the truth cost Jude his life?
Genre: Western
