Desert Reckoning

By: Jesse Storm

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

The desert buries secrets – but it never keeps them buried for long.

Once a lawman, now disillusioned by the failure of justice and burdened by guilt, Clint Langston drifts into a desert town in Arizona searching for silence.

Instead, he stumbles onto the charred remains of a massacre – and the only survivor, young Ruby Yates. Ruby clings to life as Clint delivers her into the hands of frontier doctor Josie Holmes, a woman tempered by grief yet unbroken by fear.

Together, Clint and Josie uncover the iron grip of the Destiny Railroad, a company that buys, bullies, or buries anyone and anything standing in the way of its ruthless empire. Backed by bribes and corrupt lawmen, the railroad’s reach stretches from dusty trails to polished boardrooms – and its enforcer, Eli Steele, leaves nothing but blood and ruin in his wake.

Standing between Clint and the truth is Steele’s gang of hired killers – merciless men who burn towns, slaughter innocents, and crush all who dare defy the tracks.

As bullets fly and allies fall, Clint is forced to reckon with the man he once was. Will he keep running from the ghosts that haunt him, or make his last stand for justice, even if it costs him everything?

Note: Each novel in the Western Justice Adventures series is a standalone story, with sprinkles of romance, that can be read out of order.
