Bullet of Vermejo

New Mexico, 1919. Marisol Armendariz has kept her uncle's ledgers for six years — every bribe, every body, every mile of the Vermejo route between Socorro and the Colorado line. Then her uncle decides she knows too much, and the man he sends to kill her is the only one who doesn't. Elias Cain came back from France with a limp, a talent for quiet work, and a family who doesn't say his name. He was paid to bury her in the desert. He rides her north instead. Now two outlaws and one stolen horse are paying off a syndicate one bad debt at a time, with twenty men behind them and a wedding license in front of them they only meant as a legal shield. When you rob the family that raised you, you burn the road home.
