Those who inhabit the harsh, beautiful, blood-red land between Tucson and Fort Bowie have never seen the like of the Shadow Rider—who appears out of nowhere and vanishes just as suddenly in the desert heat. Now death and lies surround him again. The Apache are under siege for murders they didn't commit—and Cody's riding hell-for-leather into a war where nothing's what it seems. But his mission is to get to the truth . . . and to kill the cause of the bloody chaos—even if it means laying down his own life.

From Spur Award-winning author Jory Sherman comes the final novel in his acclaimed Shadow Rider series A rebellion is brewing in the New Mexico territories. Ghost Warrior—a Navajo renegade using the name of a legendary fallen warrior—is stirring up fear and bloodlust. Under orders from President Ulysses S. Grant, Zak Cody—the elusive enforcer they call “Shadow Rider”—heads into the unknown to confront the killer. When he reaches his destination and discovers that an Indian raiding party has set upon defenseless victims, Cody suspects a snare is being set—and many more people will die if he is unable to avert the slaughter. His only hope is to spring the trap himself. But the Shadow Rider’s death could be the ultimate consequence. “Sherman knows how to make a western gallop.” — Publishers Weekly
