The past won't stay buried-and the law's catching up.
After returning two young girls to safety, Uzziah O'Bannon and Immanuel Jones set their course back to the Rockies. But trouble finds them before they reach the high country. Ambushed in Pawnee territory and dying of thirst, Immanuel reveals the truth about his Mandan roots-unearthing a part of himself long buried. Uzziah won't let it go, and the two head northwest to find the Mandans... and answers neither of them are ready for.
Their journey leads them aboard a paddle wheeler on the Missouri, where a nosy journalist sniffs out their true identities-and the violent past they're trying to outrun. One slip, and the story goes public.
Now there's a bounty on their heads and no place left to hide. As gunslingers and opportunists close in, the mountain men are forced to face justice on someone else's terms. Captured by Pinkertons and put on trial in Chicago, the noose is drawing tighter.
Will Uzziah and Immanuel stay loyal when the gallows loom? Or will survival demand the kind of betrayal neither man can take back?
This two-book bundle includes the ninth and tenth novels in the Uzziah Mountain Man series.
