Book Synopsis



Award-winning, critically acclaimed author Terrence McCauley has drawn comparisons to Elmore Leonard for his skilled writing of traditional historical Westerns with a crime fiction soul. Now be brings his signature historical accuracy, three-dimensional characters, and non-stop, adrenaline-fueled action to the second Jeremiah Halstead Western.

"McCauley's Westerns move at a pace that leaves readers sweating and out of breath. Blood on the Trail is one wild, entertaining ride." --Johnny D. Boggs

Deputy U.S. Marshal Jeremiah Halstead keeps the peace in the mining town of Silver Cloud, Montana. But an old enemy has declared war against him.

Ruthless and clever, Ed Zimmerman would have become the leader of one of the west's deadliest and hell-bent outlaw gangs. Zimmerman has offered a generous bounty to every desperado willing to put a bullet through the U.S. Deputy Marshal's heart.

A death sentence won't stop Halstead from enforcing the law. The sheriff of Battle Brook needs a hand dealing with some hell-raising badmen in the surrounding hills, threatening to take over the frontier town. Joined by Deputy Sandborne, Halstead rides hard for Battle Brook only to discover manhunters aware of the price on his head are in town, guns cocked and ready to collect the reward.

And Zimmerman has joined the outlaws in the hills, waiting to catch Halstead in his sights. . .

Picking up a short time after the events of Blood on the Trail, the first book in the Jeremias Halstead series, we find Deputy US Marshall Halstead and a younger Deputy US Marshall Sandborne heading west to continue the hunt for the notorious criminal Ed Zimmerman. With the chill of winter setting in, the Montana frontier is snow covered and inhospitable. The perfect setting for the next story in the Jeremiah Halstead saga. A gang of outlaws has robbed the payroll wagons for several of the large mining outfits in the territory around the dilapidated town of Hard Scrabble and the bustling new town of Battle Brook. Halstead and Sandborne are on a mission to capture or kill two wanted fugitives and are also tasked with assisting keep the peace in the town in the wake of the robberies. With the pending statehood and admission to the Union, the two law men are all that are available to try and keep the peace. I thoroughly enjoyed Disturbing the Peace, book number two in the series. The writing is smooth, while the setting and story are gritty, reminiscent of the frontier days. With some returning characters as well as several new ones, McCauley has brilliantly woven more of the intricate tapestry that the series is becoming. The characters are well developed, and I find myself rooting for and against them. The writing is also such that it is easy to picture the book playing out on the screen of my mind. I am anxiously awaiting the next installment to see where the story goes from here.
