Sudden Country: A Classic Western Adventure

A LOST TREASURE. A LOADED GUN. A DEADLY CHASE.

When thirteen-year-old David Grayle inherits a Colt revolver and a mysterious map, he is thrust into a violent hunt for lost Confederate gold. Pursued by ruthless outlaws, he falls in with a dangerous crew. But in the lawless West, gold has a way of turning allies into enemies, and David quickly learns that trust can be more dangerous than a bullet.

As tempers flare and the stakes rise, the search for fortune becomes a fight for survival. In the end, David must decide if the treasure is worth the bloodshed-or if walking away is the only way to stay alive.

Will David claim the gold or vanish like the legends that guard it?

"Like McMurtry, Estleman has mined the West for its soul in search of characters and real Western locations to explore the human condition and the seven sins that follow man through literary eternity."
