The man behind the badge

Some men wear
the badge. Others
carry it.

For seven years, Jesse Lovett has kept the peace in Redstone Crossing. He knows the rhythms of Front Street, the trouble worth chasing, and the small arguments best left to settle themselves.

His approach to the law is measured rather than theatrical. Questions do more than speeches. A careful eye and a steady hand get done what a drawn gun cannot.

In Coldwater Pass, Jesse's loyalty to his town and family is tested. This page preserves the book's revelations for readers to discover in the novel.

The law in Redstone

Stone, adobe,
and resolve.

The sheriff's office and jail stand among the establishments of Redstone Crossing. The building is stone and adobe—not a wooden false-front storefront.
