DEAD WASH

The town was supposed to be empty.

Mercer Sample rolled into Silver Creek expecting another stretch of lonely highway and desert heat. Instead, he found a town burning to the ground, bodies in the streets, and fresh graves hidden behind a line of mesquite bushes.

Someone had robbed a cartel cash drop.

Someone had slaughtered an entire town to cover it up.

The killers belong to the Desert Skulls, a ruthless outlaw motorcycle gang led by Silas "Preacher" Stone—a violent kingpin with plans that reach far beyond a single robbery. With millions in stolen cartel money, a convoy of armed killers, and a border crossing waiting ahead, Stone believes every witness is dead.

He's wrong.

Hidden beneath the floorboards of a burning church, Mercer discovers a woman and six children who survived the massacre. Now they're the only witnesses left alive.

To keep them breathing, Mercer must guide them across a hundred miles of unforgiving badlands while Stone and his hunters close in from every direction. Outgunned, outnumbered, and racing against time, Mercer turns the desert into a battlefield where every canyon, dry wash, and abandoned road becomes part of the fight.

Because some debts can't be ignored.

And some massacres demand a reckoning.

DEAD WASH is a hard-driving modern western thriller packed with relentless action, desert survival, outlaw bikers, cartel violence, deadly manhunts, and a lone drifter willing to stand against impossible odds. Perfect for fans of C.J. Box, Craig Johnson, Jack Carr, Lee Child, and gritty modern western suspense.
