A Classic Western Adventure Novel

By: Jonathan Colt

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Elijah Ford goes by another name these days. After a long, bloody career as a gunslinger for hire, he has retired on a small cattle ranch in the rugged hills of Montana, determined to leave his violent past behind. But the past isn’t finished with him... When a local man vanishes, two desperate women arrive at his door, begging him to take one last job. Elijah doesn't know what getting involved will cost him, and he's not eager to find out.

Will Elijah sacrifice his hard-earned peace to do the right thing?

Clara Archer has a good life—she is strong-willed, intelligent, and beautiful, and she has avoided the advances of many suitors, holding out for a special someone. When her cousin disappears, she's forced to take matters into her own hands. She seeks out Elijah Ford, though the ex-gunslinger is as distant and unyielding as the land. He’s not the kind of man she imagined herself trusting or finding attractive... or is he?

Can Clara spur an unwilling hero into action before it's too late?

Drawn in by echoes of his own past, Elijah agrees to take the job, and Clara decides to give him a chance. However Elijah's enemies are many, and there is no rest for the wicked. Clara and Elijah are sucked into a maelstrom of violence and peril, where one wrong step could be the end of them... Will they fight tooth and claw for what really matters, or will this final job put them both into an early grave?
