Book 1
Roamer is having a bad day -- he is savaged by a grizzly, robbed by bandits, and attacked by wolves. So by the time he makes it to the little Rocky Mountain town of Tall Pine all he wants is a cup of coffee, a hot meal, and a soft bed. The sheriff jails him for murder instead. A seething mob marks Roamer's homely face as guilty and seeks twisted justice with his blood. Can he stop the townsfolk from destroying themselves or will they kill him first? It's a brutal race against time for Roamer as the mob rips apart its little town, leaving innocent people dead and the wrong people in charge.
On his way to visit his old mentor, Maple Jack, Roamer makes a brief supply stop in the raw, flyblown town of Forsaken, Wyoming. There he encounters a man from his past, who possesses the deed to a valuable ranch. The type of property people kill for. Roamer begrudgingly agrees to escort the young man and a shifty gold digger of a woman deep into the Bitterroot Mountains in search of the mysterious ranch. Fearing Roamer has met with disaster, Maple Jack tracks him into the mountains and joins in the quest. But as they make their way to the ranch, they realize nothing is as it seems, as lies layer on lies and bloodshed becomes all too common. If they can't stop the killing, Roamer and Maple Jack realize they will die in the cold little ranch valley...well north of Forsaken.
