Valley of the Gun

HOLY HELL

Arizona Ranger Sam Burrack has encountered many a relentless outlaw in his days as a lawman, but none quite like Fannin “Dad” Orwick. The devout leader of the Redemption Riders, Orwick robs and kills to support his ever-expanding family of young wives and children, all in the name of the Lord.

After the Ranger learns that Orwick is moving his harem of wives to a compound deep in the Mexican badlands, he heads south—and meets an unlikely ally in a stalwart woman named Mattie. Once married to Orwick, Mattie has her own dangerous plans for her bloody-minded ex. But neither Sam nor Mattie can know just how far Orwick is about to go for God and family…“A storyteller in the best tradition of the Old West.”—Matt Braun, Golden Spur Award-winning author
