A cowboy named Jake McAlister leaves Kansas and travels to Lake Valley, New Mexico to find the rustlers who killed his brother. He finds out what happened to his brother while his own criminal past is brought into the light. While searching for the rustlers, he meets a dog that finds the trail for him. It's only when Jake finds love in Silver City that he truly comes to terms with his own past. But there is one man left, the final surviving rustler who helped kill his brother, and Jake intends to find him.

This sounds amazing! The synopsis is gripping and gives me the vibe of a page-turner. Even without starting the book, I can already imagine getting lost in it. Definitely adding to my reading list.
