Hank Laird

Hank Laird had never laid claim to sainthood. Truth is, his enemies would be quick to swear that the man was the devil himself—a reputation Laird earned as one of the most hardscrabble men ever to grace the soil of South Texas. With grit, gold and gunpowder, he forged an empire out of chaos in the wake of the Civil War. But now the vultures are coming home to roost and it’s up to Laird whether Santa Guerra ranchlands will be heaven or hell.
