Blood on The Prairie: Red Diablo Series

They killed his family when he was five years old. They left one thing behind: a boy in the roots of a cottonwood tree. And a memory he didn't know he had - a heart-shaped scar on a killer's arm. Eli Kane grew up in a jailhouse, raised by a marshal who said nothing and kept everything. For twelve years, the files stayed locked in a drawer. For twelve years, Eli waited without knowing what he was waiting for. Then the dreams started. And the scar came back. Now Eli is riding south into the New Mexico Territory with a notebook, a name, and the cold patience of a man who has been preparing his whole life for something the rest of the world doesn't know is coming. His target is a man called Corazon - a ghost who moves through the territory's shadow world leaving branded marks and buried evidence. His backers are powerful enough to silence federal investigators. His operation runs across five territories and reaches into the highest levels of government. Eli has none of that. He has a horse, a marshal's twelve years of files, and the specific kind of patience that is only built by growing up with something that cannot be rushed. BLOOD ON THE PRAIRIE is the first book in the RED DIABLO series - a gritty, slow-burn Western revenge saga set in the American frontier of the 1880s. For fans of Cormac McCarthy's bleak moral landscapes, Louis L'Amour's lean Western pacing, and the revenge narratives of Clint Eastwood's best Westerns. The series continues in RED DIABLO: THE MARSHAL'S SHADOW.
