Dan Burton: Texas Ranger: The Blood Thicket: A Western Adventure
The seventh Western adventure in a brand new series from Clem Mariotte!
In the harsh, changing frontier of late-1880s Texas—where railroads, barbed wire, and new money carve up the open range—Texas Ranger Dan Burton stands as a quiet force for justice. Scarred by a childhood tragedy that left him marked for life, Dan rides with his father’s engraved Colt, a trusted Bowie knife, and an iron resolve to choose cuffs and the law over vengeance, no matter how personal the fight becomes. Anchored by his resilient wife Maria, their young children, and a hard-won circle of allies—ranch hands, sharpshooters, border traders, and old mentors—Dan confronts rustlers, corrupt power, and the fading codes of the Old West. In a land of border tensions, shifting loyalties, and vanishing frontiers, the Dan Burton series delivers gritty, morally layered Western tales of family, restraint, and the steep price of doing right when the world keeps pushing you toward blood.

Another good western.
Dan Burton and his sidekicks, Lee and Tom are fighting a grizzled mad man in the Widows Creek swamp. How they make it through and save twelve civilians in the process makes a good read!
