Shadow of Wolves

by J.R. White · 2020

<b>"White conveys the authenticity of Louis L'Amour, the descriptive flourish of Stephen King, and the detailed world-building of Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child."</b><br> <br> A tortured gunfighter. A Navajo outcast. - And the Creature whose claws would stain the stones of the Mojave red.<br> <br> Flush with raw silver and ruled by a baron with an iron fist, the tiny mining outpost of Shank's Point is under siege by a sinister evil.<br> <br> When the rising sun reveals the claw-torn bodies littered among the rocks, John Swift-Runner calls on his old friend, a vagabond gunfighter, to stand with him against the slaughter he knows will come.<br> <br> But as their band of misfits hunts for the creature on the burning sands of the Mojave, they stumble into a generations old mystery that goes beyond shamanic curses and into the bloodstained pages of legend.<br> <br> Can the killing be stopped?<br> <br> And can a tortured gunman like Kit Barker - with a terrible secret of his own - prevail against something as savage and eternal as the Beast?
