The novel that began it all

A stranger.
A sheriff.
A buried secret.

For seven years Sheriff Jesse Lovett has kept the peace in Redstone Crossing. Then Sterling Bragg rides into town, and the lawman finds himself facing a twenty-five-year-old secret that runs through his own family—and the water everyone depends upon.
