Book synopsis

A cold wind cuts across the New Mexico desert... and it's bringing hell with it.

Cole Hardin, a worn-down drifter with a debt on his back and a rifle on his saddle, rides into Perdition, New Mexico looking for honest work-anything to keep him ahead of Breck, the ruthless debt collector tracking him across the frontier. But Perdition is a town with secrets of its own: a crooked saloon, a rigged poker table, and a back-alley power structure built on fear, lies, and blood.

When Hardin sits in on a late-night card game, he senses danger in every hand. Dix, a quiet predator disguised in a gentleman's coat, watches the table like a man counting coffins. And the stranger woman in the tobacco-brown traveling dress? She isn't there to drink. She's watching Dix... the way someone watches a fuse burn toward dynamite.

By sunrise, Hardin will learn that what he thought was a poker game is something far deadlier. A murder brewing. A conspiracy tightening. A warning whispered too late.

Now the only way out of Perdition...
...is straight through it.

PERILOUS is a gritty Western thriller packed with high-stakes tension, deadly secrets, gunsmoke, and a lone rider trying to outrun his past. Perfect for fans of classic frontier mysteries, neo-Western suspense, cowboy noir, and character-driven tales of honor surviving in a lawless land.
