New Release: Blood Justice - Where Justice Meets Vengeance in the Arizona Territory
Released July 3, 2025
The desert sun beats down mercilessly on the Arizona Territory in 1893, but it's nothing compared to the fire burning in Grady Thatcher's heart. After six long years of waiting, R.J. Sloane's newest release, Blood Justice, takes readers on a gripping journey of loyalty, vengeance, and the true cost of justice in the unforgiving Southwest.
A Prequel That Packs a Punch
Blood Justice serves as the prequel to the Harper's Justice series, giving readers the backstory they've been craving. This isn't just another Western—it's a masterfully crafted tale that explores what happens when the law fails and a man must choose between walking away or walking into danger.
Some debts aren't settled in court—they're settled in blood.
Grady Thatcher has carried the weight of his parents' murder for six years, and now he's got the perfect cover to hunt their killers: a badge with the Arizona Livestock Commission. When he convinces his friend Deacon to join him, they expect to chase down rustlers. Instead, they ride straight into a web of corruption that runs deeper than either man imagined.
What Makes Blood Justice Special
This isn't your typical revenge story. R.J. Sloane has crafted a tale that honors the moral complexity of the Old West while maintaining the clean, wholesome storytelling Desert Life Media readers love.
