Black Water

A Classic Western Adventure

By: Frank Wheeler

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Two years ago, James Bridger shot Zedd Hightower off a bridge and watched him fall into the river below. Then he buried his wife and tried to bury the rest.

But now Hightower is back.

He rules the deep bayou, commanding a network of smugglers and hired killers from an island stronghold no one enters without permission. Settlements pay to be left alone. Those who refuse are made into examples.

When a young woman is taken from Cypress Bend, a battered midwife comes looking for a man.
Rosalie Fontenot believes this man is the only one who can stop Hightower.

Bridger.

Only that Bridger wants no part of it.
He’s done wearing a badge.
Now he prefers building boats and drinking whiskey.

But when homes are burned and families threatened, Bridger realizes he can’t say no.
To reach Hightower’s fortified island camp, they must cross a maze of flooded forest, hidden channels, and ambush points, while Hightower’s gang hunts them through black water.

For Rosalie, it’s about saving a young woman she loves.
For Bridger, it’s about finishing what he started.
Some men should have stayed dead.
Can Bridger kill him twice, or will the swamp claim them both?
