A cold wind cuts across the New Mexico desert… and it's bringing hell with it.Cole Hardin, a worn-down drifter with a debt on his back and a rifle on his saddle, rides into Perdition, New Mexico looking for honest work—anything to keep him ahead of Breck, the ruthless debt collector tracking him across the frontier. But Perdition is a town with secrets of its own: a crooked saloon, a rigged poker table, and a back-alley power structure built on fear, lies, and blood.When Hardin sits in on a late-night card game, he senses danger in every hand. Dix, a quiet predator disguised in a gentleman's coat, watches the table like a man counting coffins. And the stranger woman in the tobacco-brown traveling dress? She isn't there to drink. She's watching Dix… the way someone watches a fuse burn toward dynamite.By sunrise, Hardin will learn that what he thought was a poker game is something far deadlier. A murder brewing. A conspiracy tightening. A warning whispered too late.Now the only way out of Perdition……is straight through it.PERILOUS is a gritty Western thriller packed with high-stakes tension, deadly secrets, gunsmoke, and a lone rider trying to outrun his past. Perfect for fans of classic frontier mysteries, neo-Western suspense, cowboy noir, and character-driven tales of honor surviving in a lawless land.
