Synopsis: From an award-winning storyteller of the Old West: A successful prospector returns to his family&’s ranch and walks into the middle of a bloody cattle war. When he learns of his parents&’ death in a train crash, Sam Dana makes his way home to the Bar D ranch—not to claim it, but to settle the estate and move on. He has no need for the hard life of a cattleman after finally striking it big as a prospector. But what Sam finds is far from the home he remembers. The ranch has become an armed camp led by his cantankerous half-brother, Walt, who&’s been hiring men more skilled with a six-gun than a lasso. In Sam&’s absence, things have gone downhill in all ways possible. But worst of all is the rumor that Walt has been pilfering livestock and selling it as his own. Cattle thieves make a lot of enemies in the Old West, and Walt&’s enemies want his land, his stock, and his head. Sam could cut and run. This problem wasn&’t his making. But the Bar D is still half his—and no man is going to take that away without a fight . . . Luke Short helped transform the stories of the American West from dime-store pulp into a respected and immensely popular genre. Trouble Country is a classic western adventure rich in grit, authenticity, and intrigue.
