Synopsis

From the USA Today bestselling author of Showdown at Gun Hill comes a tale of outlaws and order in the Old West. A FATHER'S FURY Arizona Territory Ranger Sam Burrack knows all too well that criminals don't concern themselves with consequences. So it's no surprise to him when Big Silver's Sheriff Sheppard Stone makes an enemy of wealthy cattle rancher Edsel Centrila, whose son thinks he's above the law. After Stone refuses a large payoff to let Centrila's son out of jail, Centrila throws all of his money into buying up Big Silver, putting gunmen on every corner, aiming right at the sheriff's office. As Burrack traverses the Badlands, he becomes a target because of his association with Stone. Now, he must head back to Big Silver to help watch Stone's back. But it won't be easy. Centrila won't stop until his son is free, and Burrack won't stop until justice is served...

I started reading this series, at the beginning. Think early stories ring more true, than this one. Just seemed to much of it spun in sameness.
