Lies, stolen cattle, and a killer who won't quit.

​

When a livestock trailer is found abandoned on a rural Texas Hill Country road—two men dead beside it, one shot, the other pierced with an arrow—Deputy Adam Cash knows he’s not dealing with your average cattle theft. The trailer belongs to local rancher Paul Moreland, who claims ignorance. But the bodies say otherwise.

As Cash digs deeper, the case quickly unravels into something far more dangerous. The murdered men worked for Moreland, and someone clearly doesn’t want the truth coming out. When Cash arrests Branson Kent during a botched cattle heist, he thinks he’s closing in. But after Kent makes bail, he turns up dead, just like the others.

Each clue leads Cash closer to Shaeffer’s Livestock, an auction barn where stolen cattle change hands and buried secrets abound. Pen man Rodney Cross stands out as a prime suspect. But when an unknown assailant murders Cross, it’s clear that someone is eliminating loose ends. Now, with bodies piling up and no one left to trust, Cash must untangle the web of lies, bullets, and blood before the killer strikes again.

In this fourth explosive entry in the Adam Cash Mystery Series, author Jeff Kerr delivers a slam-bang tale of deception, greed, and justice served up Texas-style. Perfect for fans of C.J. Box, Jeff Carson, and Craig Johnson, this modern Western thriller blends high-stakes mystery, relentless suspense, and gritty action into a page-turner you won’t soon forget.
