A brand new Will Morgan and Reno Gates Western adventure from C. Wayne Winkle!
After Reno is laid up following surgery, Will finds himself with too little to do. Reno convinces him to apply for a Deputy Sheriff job in nearby Yreka.
Soon after being hired, he finds himself embroiled in a series of murders of women. There are few clues other than deep boot prints to help him solve the killings.
In typical Will Morgan fashion, he digs into the cases and doesn’t give up.
But will the killer turn on him?
One thing Will finds out is that old hurts can lead to senseless murders.
