Overview

Once, he wore the badge. Once, his name carried weight. Now the town barely remembers him. When a wave of violence sweeps across the desert settlement of Dry Wash, the men running the place decide they don't need law-only fear. The former sheriff, long pushed aside and half-forgotten, wants no part of it. He's tired. Worn down. Finished with burying friends. But when innocent blood is spilled and the past comes knocking with a gun in its hand, there's only one man left who knows how the town truly works-and how it breaks. With enemies on every side and no badge to shield him, the forgotten sheriff steps back into the dust to settle one last reckoning. Justice won't come easy. It never does. In the end, only one thing matters: Whether a man can still stand when the whole world has already counted him out.

Author Information

Clayton Ridge writes Western fiction shaped by hard country, hard choices, and the men who live between them. His stories focus on outlaws, lawmen, and drifters navigating a frontier where survival matters more than reputation and justice often arrives late-if it arrives at all. Drawing inspiration from classic mid-century paperback Westerns, Ridge favors tight pacing, plainspoken prose, and moral pressure forged under open sky. His work is grounded in grit and realism, emphasizing isolation, consequence, and the unromantic truths of frontier life. Ridge believes the best Westerns don't glorify violence-they confront it. His novels explore what men become when pushed to the edge of law, land, and conscience.
