Synopsis

For twenty-seven years, Thomas Reed has been a rancher, a widower and a father. Before that, he was a man the West learned to fear.

Thomas has buried his old name so deeply that even his twenty-one-year-old son, Daniel, knows nothing about the man his father once was.

Then a rider arrives at their Colorado ranch carrying a message from Caleb Boone, the outlaw who saved Thomas's life nearly thirty years ago.

You owe me one ride.

Caleb is going to hang.

Thomas knows he has to go.

Daniel insists on going with him.

As father and son ride east towards Fort Smith, the past begins finding them. Old lawmen remember Thomas. Former lovers remember him. Families of dead men remember him. And Daniel slowly discovers that his quiet, hardworking father was once Gideon Cade, an outlaw whose name frightened even other outlaws.

But Caleb Boone is guilty.

And the closer Thomas gets to Fort Smith, the harder the question becomes.

How far should a man go to repay the person who once saved his life?

And can twenty-seven years of living as a good man ever answer for the terrible things he did before?

The Last Ride Home is a powerful Western novel of fathers and sons, brotherhood, loyalty, violence and redemption, where the hardest journey isn't outrunning the past.

It's deciding what kind of man will ride home.
