The Price of Dirt

A Classic Western Adventure

A classic western novel from Frank Wheeler with non-stop epic adventure and a blend of western romance

Deen Latchford is a lot of things.
1- A conman.
2- A former bounty hunter.
3- And a brother with a past full of regrets.

But he never expected to be a landowner.

When a long-lost uncle leaves him an inheritance in Gideon’s Bluff, Deen sees a chance to go legit, start over, maybe even rebuild the broken bond with his estranged sister, Josie.
But the land comes with enemies.

Vernon Briggs, a ruthless land baron, wants what Deen now owns. And he’s not the kind of man to ask twice.
As Deen digs into his uncle’s past, he uncovers a web of fraud, murder, and betrayal.

Soon, he realizes he was never meant to inherit anything at all.

With the help of a sharp-shooting sister, a charming rogue named Hawk, and a saloon singer with secrets of her own, Deen devises a plan not just to outwit Briggs, but to take back everything the man has stolen.
The stakes are high. The game is rigged. And for once, Deen might be playing for more than just himself.

Can a lifelong conman pull the biggest swindle of his career—and come out clean on the other side?

Each novel in the series is a standalone western which can be read out of order.
