Harlan Creed The Adjudicator #1 Gauntlet of Blood

Three murdered hunters. A territory poised for war. One lawman empowered to deliver justice.

Federal Adjudicator Harlan Creed carries the authority of judge, jury, and executioner into places where the courts cannot reach. When three Comanche hunters are slaughtered on disputed land, Creed is sent to uncover the truth before vengeance ignites a frontier war.

His investigation leads straight into Devil’s Draw, a canyon threatening to swallow a military convoy whole.

Creed must accompany sixty cavalrymen escorting three powerful howitzers through the Comanche killing ground. Waiting among the cliffs is Stalking Wolf, a brilliant war chief determined to stop the weapons from reaching his people. Behind the violence stands cattle baron Clayton Morse, a ruthless man with land to seize, witnesses to silence, and enough money to bend the law.
