VILLAIN OF PEACE

One bounty hunter. One ruthless mining empire. One train crossing the deadliest mountains in the West.

Federal bounty hunter Eldridge Sample lives by one rule:

Finish the job.

When he captures wanted outlaw Garrett Harlan in the frozen Colorado high country, the assignment seems simple-deliver the prisoner alive to Denver and collect the bounty.

Then they reach Ironstone.

The mining town belongs to Hiram Cross, a powerful industrialist who owns the mines, the railroad, the sheriff, and nearly everyone willing to pull a trigger. Cross wants Garrett dead before he can ever reach federal court, and he’ll pay-or kill-to make it happen.

Eldridge refuses to sell his prisoner.

Now every hired gun in the territory is hunting them.

As a midnight freight train claws through snow-covered mountain passes, legendary tracker Cyrus Locke launches a relentless assault from the rooftops of the moving train, turning a routine prisoner transport into a desperate fight for survival. Trapped between blizzards, sheer cliffs, and killers closing in from every direction, Eldridge must outthink an enemy who controls the mountains, the railroad, and the law itself.

Packed with explosive gunfights, mountain train battles, bounty hunters, ruthless outlaws, railroad intrigue, frontier justice, corrupt mining companies, survival against impossible odds, and relentless Western suspense, VILLAIN OF PEACE is a gripping Western thriller that blends classic frontier adventure with modern action pacing.

Perfect for fans of Louis L’Amour, Elmore Leonard, William W. Johnstone, C.J. Box, Craig Johnson, Ralph Compton, and readers who love historical Western fiction, action-adventure, bounty hunter stories, train robberies, and Old West thrillers.
