COLD POWDER VENGEANCE

Some men would wait for the law . . . not this one!

Black powder burns hot. Revenge doesn't

​

In 1875, Judiah Stone wants nothing more than to bury the war and live in peace, farming his homestead in the Dakota Territory with his beautiful wife. But when a gang of killers sheds her blood and leaves him for dead, peace dies with her.

​

Most men would wait on the law. Not this one.

​

Armed with a Henry rifle and a fire in his gut, he rides west--tracking the men to Deadwood, where greed and blood soak the Black Hills. Sioux warriors, brutal storms, and a cold-eyed shootist all try to end him along the way.

​

But the truth isn't what it seems. The real killer is closer than he ever imagined--and in a courtroom where justice is bought, he brings his own sentance.

​

Cold Powder Vengeance is a brutal tale of frontier retribution, where the only sure things are a six-gun and the grave.
