A reformed gun for hire needs escorting to a federal hearing. A hired killer is on his trail. And somewhere in the marshals' own ranks, someone is being paid to make sure the witness never arrives.

When a brutal blizzard traps Shane Gantry, his prisoner, and their pursuers together at an isolated line cabin, the elements become as lethal as the bullets. A frozen river crossing costs a horse and nearly a life, testing the limits of endurance on the unforgiving frontier.

As old enemies close in and betrayal lurks in the shadows, Shane must choose between the personal revenge he has carried for years and the impartial justice of the law.

A Debt Paid in Lead is a blistering, atmospheric winter western that pushes its lawman to the absolute brink.
