They called him Drifter, because that's what he'd done most of his life. But no matter where he went, he always came back to Santa Rosa, New Mexico--the nearest thing he had to a home. Still, there was trouble brewing outside town, and though Drifter wanted no part of it, fate ha...d other ideas. Against his better judgment he signed on to help a sodbuster named Albright ... and when the time came, he took Albright's side against Stillman J. Stadtlander, the ruthless cattle baron who was determined to claim Albright's land for himself. Drifter should have saddled up and made dust, but that wasn't his way.

So he loaded his guns and stepped out to challenge Stillman's rawhiders ... and that's when hell broke loose.

Montana, 1968: The insular community of Pass Creek is ripped open when popular rancher and notorious bachelor Tom Butcher is found murdered one morning, beaten to death by a baseball bat. Suspicion among the tight-knit community immediately falls on the outsider, Carl Logan, who ...recently moved in with his family and his troubled son Roger. What Carl doesn't realize is that there are plenty of people in Pass Creek who have reason to kill Tom Butcher. Complications arise when the investigating officers discover that Tom Butcher had a secret--a secret he kept even from Junior Kirby, a lifelong rancher and Butcher's best friend. As accusations fly and secrets are revealed one after another, the people of Pass Creek learn how deeply Tom Butcher was embedded in their lives, and that they may not have known him at all. With familiar mastery, Russell Rowland, the author of In Open Spaces and Fifty-Six Counties, returns to rural Montana to explore a small town torn apart by secrets and suspicions, and how the tenuous bonds of friendship struggle to hold against the differences that would sever us.
