Broken Ridge was quiet country - the kind of place a man could disappear if he chose to. Until someone started killing for it. When former trail scout Ethan Calloway rides into the high timber, he finds a valley locked in fear. Two hired guns are holding the ridge for a shadowy investor who wants the land cleared - one way or another. A wounded rancher swears he saw who gave the orders. No one else is willing to speak. The law is miles away. And winter is closing in. Pinned between a fallen oak and a hail of gunfire, Ethan realizes this won't be settled with talk. The men across the ridge didn't come to negotiate. They came to bury him. In the mountains above Broken Ridge, justice won't be decided in a courtroom. It'll be decided at the end of a smoking barrel.
