Award-winning, critically acclaimed author Terrence McCauley has drawn comparisons to Elmore Leonard for his skilled writing of traditional historical Westerns with a crime fiction soul. Now he brings his signature historical accuracy, three-dimensional characters, and non-stop, adrenaline-fueled action to the first in a brand new series featuring Jeremiah Halstead. He may be the newest Deputy Marshal in the Montana Territory, but it doesnât take long for him to find himself in a mess of trouble…
âBlood on the Trail  is one action-packed, western . . . and Jeremiah Halstead is a lawdog to fog the outlaw trail with!â âPeter Brandvold, author of The Cost of Dying
Â
Silver Cloud, Montana. A mining town welcome to all seeking to make their fortune. And a place where a lawman has to watch his back before some hardcase empties his pistol into it.
Â
Deputy U.S. Marshal Jeremiah Halstead is escorting notorious outlaw John Hudson across the territory for trial when heâs ambushed by a pack of Hudsonâs men anxious to rescue their partner from his custody. Halstead puts the blast on them, but outnumbered and outgunned, he has little choice but to hole up in an old mining town known as Silver Cloud, Montana. Itâs a place where he can keep a lock on his prisoner while figuring out how to get past Hudsonâs gang alive.
Â
But the folks in Silver Cloud are none too happy playing host to the lawman or his kill-crazy prisoner. Unable to trust the sheriff to back his play, Halstead finds himself standing alone against Hudsonâs gang as they slip into town, recruiting gunmen to help free their leader.
Â
Except for Ed Zimmerman. Heâs spent his whole criminal life in John Hudsonâs shadow. He wants Hudson dead and buried so he can become the leader of the gang. And if he must, heâll put everyone in Silver Cloud six feet underâincluding Deputy U.S. Marshal Halstead...

âMcCauley's Westerns move at a pace that leaves readers sweating and out of breath. Blood on the Trail is one wild, entertaining ride.â âJohnny D. Boggs
