Synopsis: As ranchers and homesteaders go to war in Wyoming, a new lawman faces a trial by gunfire in the New York Times–bestselling author&’s Western series debut. Lawmen don&’t last long in the town of Doubtful, Wyoming Territory. The last one quit, another ended up in a hangman&’s noose, and one more was backshot by the hired guns at the Circle L Ranch. But the town of Doubtful has never seen the likes of the man known as Cotton, who aims to take the badge for the next year, save himself a nice chunk of money, and be on his way. At least, that's his plan. Problem is, Cotton has just stuck his nose in the biggest hornet&’s nest in the territory. Some of the new homesteaders are stringing wire, and the three large spreads in the area don&’t like it. Before anyone can blink, a passel of hardcases are filling the air with gunsmoke and hot lead. But Cotton plans to bring law and order to Doubtful no matter what. Because he isn&’t afraid of dying. And he&’s not afraid of killing.
