The Quiet Spine
Revised & Expanded Second Edition
Justice isn't always written by the law.
Jake Jarrett came to Greycliff looking for a fresh start. Instead, he found a mountain town where fear had become a way of life.
Hidden beneath the towering peaks of the Quiet Spine, a ruthless mine owner has turned justice into a commodity and silence into a means of survival. Most people keep their heads down. Those who don't often disappear from memory long before they disappear from the mountain.
Jake has spent a lifetime learning that the law and justice are not always the same. When he uncovers a conspiracy built on greed, betrayal, and violence, walking away is no longer an option.
Joined by Bird-a fearless young woman who knows the mountain better than anyone-and a handful of ordinary people willing to risk everything for what is right, Jake must stand against powerful men determined to protect their secrets at any cost.
But the Quiet Spine remembers everything.
As loyalties are tested, friendships forged, and sacrifices demanded, Jake discovers that some battles are fought not for land or gold, but for the people who can no longer fight for themselves.
The Quiet Spine is an unforgettable Western adventure filled with courage, justice, friendship, redemption, and unforgettable characters. Rich with the spirit of the American frontier, it is a story about standing your ground when the law won't-and discovering that the strongest people are often the quietest.
