As the Crucible Closed: A Historical Western Series - Paperback

by R. F. Ryan (Author)

The frontier's fading. He's not ready to let it go.

Finnegan Gilhooley doesn't care for the modern world. The Pinkerton Agency no longer has use for his kind, and the wild places he once knew are vanishing fast. No longer under regular contract, he's taken to bounty hunting in the last rough corners of Indian Territory-until even that begins to disappear.

Just as the law closes in and the wilderness recedes, a telegram arrives from his old friend Molly Meagher. She's in trouble out in the high desert of Nevada, and Finnegan doesn't think twice. With his guns packed and doubts in tow, he rides west one more time-to see if there's still any wildness left worth saving.

The maps may be filled in. But not every trail has ended.
