Siskiyou

Siskiyou: A True Western
When the federal marshal in Yreka is gunned down, Arthur Calkins has no choice but to pick up the badge he swore he'd buried forever.
The town demands answers. The government demands blood. And the only man left to deliver justice is the one who wants it least.
With no allies and a past that won't stay dead, he's forced to return to the life he thought he'd left behind-
where violence, justice, and survival blur into one.
Hunt down the man accused of murder-or let the frontier swallow him whole.

About the Siskiyou Series
