Description
There's no rest for the blood brothers in a town at war with itself. Hard-charging Western adventure from the bestselling author of Gunsmoke and Gold.Young Matt Bodine and Sam Two Wolves became blood brothers on the day the rancher's son saved the warrior's life, forging a bond no one could ever break. As years passed, a legend grew of the Cheyenne and the white man who rode together—and who could jerk killing iron with the best of them . . .
Devil Creek Crossfire
When the brothers show more head into the small cowtown of Crossville, close by Devil Creek, all they want is to stock up on supplies and rest their weary horses. Instead, they find themselves in the middle of a bloody range war that's literally split the town down the middle. The warring factions have set up camp on either side of Main Street, and the newcomers ride in on a deserted strip of no man's land where anything—and nothing good—is liable to happen. The feud seems ridiculous: it isn't over land or water or cattle rustling, but something much darker . . . and deadlier. Bodine and Two Wolves figure the best course would be to leave—that is, until both sides order them out. Big mistake. Because the blood brothers don't take orders from anyone . . .

I did not enjoy this book as much as I have the other Blood Bond books. It seemed a bit unrealistic. But it is full of twist and turns and you do not find out until close to the end what it is all about. A good read and a challenge if you like to see if you can solve the puzzle before the ending.
