Synopsis: The Preacher dispenses some American-made justice in this avalanche of Western adventure from the national bestselling authors of the Sidewinders series. A fur trapper by trade, Preacher can smell a bad deal from any direction no matter how well it&’s disguised. It wasn&’t always that way—he&’s got the scars to prove it. Now he&’s ready to pass on his deadly survival skills to a boy named Hawk, who just might be his son . . . Preacher and Hawk ride out of the Rockies and into St. Louis, loaded with furs. It&’s Hawk&’s first trip to civilization and the moment he lays eyes on young Chessie Dayton he&’s lost in more ways than one. When Chessie unwisely signs on for a gold-hungry expedition into the lawless mountains, Hawk convinces Preacher to trail the outfit because they&’re all headed straight to the sacred Indian grounds known as the Black Hills—a land of no return. To come out of it alive a lot of people will have to die. And Preacher&’s going to need a heap of bullets for this journey into hell . . . Praise for the novels of William W.
