Buckshot Killpack and the Desert Ghost: A Lost Town. Hidden Fortune. Legacy Left Behind.

After Montana, Buck Killpack just wants quiet - open desert, an empty trail, and nobody around who knows his name. He gets exactly none of that. Riding toward the ghost town of Silver Butte, abandoned overnight decades ago for reasons nobody ever explained, Buck crosses paths with an archaeologist chasing the same mystery and a rumor the locals call the Desert Ghost - a lone rider seen crossing the ridgelines at sunset, never quite arriving anywhere.The ghost turns out to be flesh and blood: an old rancher defending a hundred-and-fifty-year-old water claim against a man who's been stealing it drop by drop - and dumping something far worse than water back into the ground. As Buck and his new allies dig into buried pipelines, sealed-off mine tunnels, and a town's forgotten reason for dying, they uncover an operation willing to poison an entire watershed to keep its secret buried with it.Some rides change you. This one changes everything.The third ride in the Buckshot Killpack series, for readers who like their backcountry adventure with real stakes and real dirt under the tires.
