The Valley of the Three Forks

Fate—and a couple of murders—in Three Forks, Idaho, lead one innocent man on a quest for justice, redemption—and revenge—in this blazing new story from the bestselling Johnstones . . .

Once, Logan Trent was a well-respected man. A decent and hard-working deputy sheriff in the town of Three Forks, Idaho, his life changed forever when his rival for the affections of a beautiful saloon owner was found dead. Murdered in cold blood. And Logan was the obvious suspect. Despite no evidence—no arrest, no conviction—everyone believed he did it. So, Logan quit his job and left. Bought a saloon in Montana. Tried to forget the past . . .

But the past never forgets. And neither do Logan’s enemies.

When Logan learns that his brother’s been murdered, the nightmare comes rushing back. After all these years, Logan must return to Three Forks to console his grieving father—and find his brother’s killer. But on the way, he’s ambushed and forced into a deadly gunfight. One of the attackers is a Donovan, the family of the man Logan was accused of killing. Seems the whole clan is waiting for his return—and want him deader than dead. Now, Logan has one last chance to clear his name. And no way out—without spilling more blood . . .
