Dead Woman Creek

Marshal Boone Crowe, Book 1

By: Buck Edwards

Narrated by: Drake Johnson

Aging Marshal Boone Crowe has left Buffalo, Wyoming in the early 1880s in search of his long-time lady friend who has disappeared. But Crowe’s anxious search is trumped when he finds himself drawn into a deadly struggle between the homestead family of Ernest Tundel and the murderous cattle magnate Douglas Starkweather.

The marshal, a man wearying of frontier violence, reluctantly plunges into the fight against Starkweather, his old nemesis from the Civil War. In the midst of the conflict, disturbing clues to his lady friend’s disappearance come to light. It now becomes a mission on two fronts, and like it or not, the Wyoming cattle country will explode into a field of blood.

Loaded with action and raw emotions, Dead Woman Creek is peopled with a wealth of robust characters, from the "almost-hanged" Rud Lacrosse and the vicious, but stupid Ike Werth to Coyote, the blind, mute Indian who knows too much, and his gritty nine-year-old caretaker, Tanner Hornfisher.

Dead Woman Creek blends rugged frontier action with the often-tender sensibilities of its passion-driven characters. Partnered with the sprawl and splendor of the land itself, it is a story of men and women together, each with their own struggle, each with their own courage. Standing in the middle, guns drawn, is Marshal Boone Crowe, a haunted man in search of secrets.

Dead Woman Creek is the first book in the Marshal Boone Crowe series.
