A brand new Western adventure from C. Wayne Winkle and Randall Dale! In the rugged town of Crossing Pass, California, justice is a fragile balance between law and vengeance. When Circuit Judge Wilford T. Crosby arrives to oversee the trial of the notorious outlaw Sawyer, tensions boil over. Despite Sawyer's guilt being swiftly confirmed, the town erupts in outrage at the delayed execution, demanding immediate retribution. Caught between the law and their own thirst for justice are Reno Gates, a seasoned man weary of a violent past, and Cyrus Boone, a young man haunted by the brutal murder of his family. As the town simmers dangerously, a wealthy, shadowy figure from distant San Francisco orchestrates a devastating jailbreak that leaves Crossing Pass shattered. Determined to restore peace and exact rightful vengeance, Reno and Cyrus forge an unyielding bond, embarking on a perilous journey to hunt down Sawyer and uncover the powerful forces protecting him. In a land where justice is swift and deadly, they must confront their deepest fears and darkest secrets. Prepare for a thrilling saga of frontier justice, betrayal, and redemption, where every decision carries the weight of life and death, and heroes are made in the crucible of adversity.
