After years as a bounty hunter and a sheriff, Bane Messenger wants to enjoy a quiet life with his family. They buy land in Nevada's Great Basin, planning to build a remote family retreat, but when they visit the property, armed men attack them, intent upon forcing them to vacate the premises, claiming Bane and his family are trespassing on private property. Before this new nightmare ends, Bane will strike it rich, be tried for kidnapping and murder, and take on an "army" of thousands of veteran soldiers determined to kill him and his entire family. "Blood Mountain" is book 3 in the series An Adventure of the Old West.
