Where the Road Gives Out

Three ranchers dead along the same Montana auction circuit, and the only man who noticed is the one who sold their cattle. Roy Petersen has spent thirty years driving backroads between dusty sale barns, but when he realizes each dead man dumped healthy livestock at bargain prices before dying, he can't let it go. Teaming with a young county coroner, Roy follows a trail of predatory loans, forged accidents, and political corruption that reaches far beyond the county line — and puts him squarely in the crosshairs of a killer who makes murder look like misfortune.
