WRONG OUTLAW

An Action-Packed Rip Campbell Western Adventure

They stole the cattle. Framed the cowboy. And left him for dead.

Their biggest mistake was letting him live.

Rip Campbell is a simple man with simple ambitions.

Find an honest day's work. Collect his wages. Stay out of trouble.

Unfortunately, trouble has never been particularly interested in leaving him alone.

When a cattle outfit rides into Abilene looking for experienced hands, Rip signs on for what promises to be an easy drive across Texas. The foreman is honest, the wages are fair, and the cook makes a biscuit a man can almost swallow.

But there's something about the outfit's second-in-command, George Quirl, that doesn't sit right.

And Rip Campbell has learned to trust his instincts.

When a runaway steer leads Rip into a secret meeting between Quirl and a gang of armed strangers, he discovers a cattle-rustling conspiracy already underway.

Before he can warn anyone, the strangers rope him, beat him senseless, steal his horse, and throw him down a rocky gully.

They figure he's dead.

They're wrong.

That night, rustlers raid the herd, stealing hundreds of valuable longhorns. By morning, Rip has been named the inside man, and every lawman and hired gun in the territory is looking to collect the reward on his head.

Now Rip is wanted for a crime he didn't commit, hunted by men who want him buried, and stranded in the wilderness with a battered Colt, a borrowed rope, and a mule named Judgment who seems personally offended by the entire arrangement.

But the rustlers have made one terrible miscalculation.

Rip Campbell knows cattle. He knows horses. And he knows exactly how to hunt the men who stole his herd.

Following a trail of altered brands, crooked deals, and dangerous outlaws, Rip discovers that the missing cattle are only part of a much larger criminal operation.

With a sharp-tongued trail cook and a formidable widowed rancher among his unlikely allies, he'll have to outwit professional gunmen, survive deadly ambushes, and take on a ruthless cattle thief who has enough money to buy the law.

One cowboy against a gang of killers.

A stolen herd worth a fortune.

And a reputation Rip Campbell intends to get back, one way or another.

WRONG OUTLAW is a wild, fast-paced Western action adventure packed with cattle rustlers, deadly gunfights, dangerous pursuits, crooked cattle dealers, frontier justice, and the sharp humor of a cowboy who just can't seem to stay out of trouble.

Now they're going to find out what kind of outlaw they've made.
