Bookroo's summary

Milo Talon is hired to find a missing girl, but the job quickly turns perilous. With three dead, an innocent woman fleeing, and a town swarming with gunslingers, Milo must unravel a web of deceit. As he digs deeper, he questions the motives of the man who hired him and the identity of a lurking murderer. In a race against time, Milo must confront not only external threats but also his own inner demons. Will he solve the mystery before one wrong move costs him everything?

From the publisher

Milo Talon knew the territory and the good men from the bad. He had ridden the Outlaw Trail and could find out things others couldn’t. That was why a rich man named Jefferson Henry hired Milo to hunt down a missing girl. But from the moment Milo began his search, he knew something wasn’t right. Three people had already died, an innocent woman was on the run, and a once sleepy town was getting crowded with hired guns. Suddenly, Milo Talon realized that there were still things he had to learn–about the woman he was trying to find, the man who had hired him, and the murderer who wanted him dead. But most of all, Milo had a few things to learn about himself. And he would have to work fast, because one mistake could cost him his life.
