Preacher's Bloodbath (The First Mountain Man #22)

Preacher arms himself for his biggest, bloodiest showdown ye****t in this hard-charging adventure from the greatest western writers of the 21st century.

There are a million ways to die in the Rockies—and a million predators, natural or otherwise. But even a seasoned mountain dweller like Preacher is shocked by the latest horror lurking in the hills. Trappers are being hunted down like animals. Captured. Murdered. Mutilated. Their hearts carved out of their chests. Some of the victims were Preacher’s friends. Now two others—Audie and Nighthawk—have gone missing. Preacher is determined to track them down before they end up on the chopping block. But nothing can prepare him for what’s waiting at the end of the trail . . .

A secret cult as old as the Aztecs. A warrior priest with a lust for blood. And an epic battle that begins and ends—with the ultimate sacrifice . . .
