Milo Ryder

The Colorado territory is in desperate need of brave men of good character to help bring law and order to the ever-increasing number of settlers in the region. After Milo Ryder is drawn out of retirement to capture a hardened criminal in Lowell F. Volk's previous book, Purgatoire Valley, he is recruited back into a permanent position as a US Marshal. Milo agrees, stipulating that he will be working his ranch in Purgatoire Valley and can only take on a limited number of cases. But it doesn't take long for this to change. First, a young woman is kidnapped. Then a gang of bandits stalks him with murderous intent. Then a local bank is robbed. Milo's ranch is calling to him, but he finds his duty as a lawman more pressing. How can he or anyone else live peacefully when outlaws are not being brought to justice? Will Milo's wife, Hannah, understand the duty he feels obligated to fulfill? Will he or anyone else in the Purgatoire Valley be safe enough to live and work on the land?

When Milo Ryder seeks to expand his cattle operation, he hears about a ranch for sale in the San Luis Valley called the T Bar Ranch. The ranch is owned by the bank after being raided by a band of Indians who killed the original owner and his family. After Milo decides to buy the ranch, he discovers an outlaw named Ike Evens squatting on the property and running the ranch as if he owns it. Milo will have to force Ike to leave, but what will be the repercussions? Will Ike be satisfied to keep his fight man-to-man with Milo? Or will he target all that Milo holds dear—his wife and his home spread at Purgatoire?
