About this audiobook
frontier saloon. A desperate betrayal. A debt that must be paid in blood.
Samuel Smith is a fair man in a lawless land, running his saloon on credit, hope, and sheer willpower. But when a ruthless county revenue collector named Elijah Jacobs arrives with a ledger of debts and an eye for Samuel's wife, the fragile peace of a small Western town shatters. Trapped by poverty and seduced by the promise of a clean escape, Mary Beth Smith commits the ultimate sin—poisoning her husband and letting the dark currents of the local river wash away her guilt.
