In the romantic narrative of the Old West, two larger-than-life characters emerged as the perfect foils for each other - the rampant outlaw and the heroic peace officer.

But the dying town of Pike’s Ferry is different. The air itself is thick with fear, choked by the greed of a ruthless developer and his corrupt, violent sheriff. The law is a joke, and...

These are not neat, tidy mysteries wrapped up with a courtroom gavel. These are raw, unflinching accounts of ...
