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.
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.
