Death to Deserters: A Western Double (Uzziah Mountain Man Books #17 & #18)

War pulls them in. Madness follows close behind.

Uzziah O’Bannon and Immanuel Jones return to the Civil War, scouting for the Confederacy and rounding up deserters with help from an Algonquin tracker. But when Stonewall Jackson’s justice proves harsher than expected, Immanuel’s had enough. He heads west—only to discover Hanna O’Bannon, disguised as her dead brother in Jeb Stuart’s cavalry. A gunshot wound, a desperate rescue, and a brutal turn at Chancellorsville convince them both it’s time to leave the war behind.

Back in the West, peace proves just as dangerous. In St. Louis, the mountain men cross paths with a wealthy old man and his bold granddaughter, bound for Salt Lake City. When one of their hired guards ends up dead, Uzziah and Immanuel join the journey west, suspecting something’s not right. By the time they reach Fort Laramie, a second body is found—and once in Utah, the trail of violence leads straight to Porter Rockwell and the Prophet himself, Brigham Young.

Can the mountain men stop what’s coming? Or will one of them fall for a woman hiding more than just secrets?

This two-book bundle includes the seventeenth and eighteenth novels in the Uzziah Mountain Man Series.
