About this audiobook
Winner of the Golden Spur, Matt Braun writes novels with an unparalleled knowledge of the West. In the harsh land of New Mexico, Clint and Virgil Brannock keep a sharp eye on their ranch, the Rio Hondo, and family lest cheats and hustlers move in. When corrupt attorney Stephen Benton and his Santa Fe Ring threaten the ranch, the two brothers realize they must fight for the land and livelihood they cherish-or die trying.
