He came for a night's rest-and stayed to fight for justice."
Addison Heaton isn't one to go looking for trouble, but trouble has a way of finding him-relentlessly.
As he travels the rugged Emigrant Road on his way to Oregon, burdened with grim news for his only surviving brother, he decides to make a brief stop in Trail City, a small town nestled in the Portneuf River Valley.
His plan is simple: rest his weary horse, enjoy a hot bath, and get a good night's sleep before continuing his journey.
But Trail City has other plans for Addison.
A skirmish with some local toughs puts him in the crosshairs of a town in need. The townspeople whisper of a wild boy known only as "Biscotte". He and the town's livery stable owner, Tabitha Merril, both desperately seek Addison's help.
The source of their trouble? A crooked yet charming sheriff who calls himself Fletcher Woodrow. With his silver-tongued lawyer, Verne Smith, at his side, Woodrow has the town wrapped around his finger.
Addison's instinct is to walk away, but there's one complication-he knows Fletcher Woodrow. And he knows that's not the man's real name. More than that, if Woodrow recognizes him, Addison is sure the sheriff won't hesitate to put him six feet under.
Caught between staying silent and fighting for what's right, Addison must navigate a town divided by loyalty and deception. With Tabitha at his side, he'll need more than the truth to free Trail City from Woodrow's grip.
He's ready for the fight of his life!
