Lost Canyon - (Jess Delaine) by John D Nesbitt (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

In an unforgiving town, one cowboy seeks a fresh start...and finds himself entangled in a mystery that could cost him everything.

While working at the Silver Pine Ranch, Jess Delaine befriends Tom Caswell, a troubled ranch hand with secrets. When the cowhand turns up dead, Delaine works to uncover the truth, digging into Caswell's past and hearing whispers of illicit dealings and unsolved disappearances.

Teaming up with a local schoolteacher and a waitress from the Sweet Auburn Café, Delaine unravels a chilling scheme involving stolen cattle and human trafficking. His search leads him to a remote ranch in Lost Canyon, where he finds evidence-live and otherwise-that exposes the rumors running beneath the town's surface.

As Delaine fights to save the innocent and deliver justice to those victimized, he faces the complacency of a town steeped in corruption and fear. In a place where trust is scarce, he must ask himself: Can he unearth the truth, or will he become the next name on a growing list of casualties?
