Red River Station

"It's five hundred miles from Fort Worth to Abilene smack through Indian Territory. I've got two thousand and five hundred head of cantankerous longhorns to deliver to the railhead. Now, you're tellin' me that I have a killer stalkin' this drive? Don't have time or inclination to deal with no killer. That's your problem Chadbourne. Take care of it." Angus Tremain, the trail boss, stomps away. Chadbourne Westerman, a range detective, has a problem. Who's killing cowboy on the Chisholm Trail, why is it happening, and how can he stop it? Having been up the Trail before, he's prepared for the ever-present dust, the heat, the smell, treacherous weather, multiple river crossings, always-present threat of a stampede, and over two thousand obstinate, bawling and balking longhorns. What he doesn't see coming are suspicious town marshals, outlaws, a snake-oil peddler, deal-making Indians, a lovely schoolmarm, and a diabolical killer. It's time to join in this Chadbourne Westerman thriller. Ride the Trail.
