Promise to Kill: A Clyde Barr Novel

Clyde Barr, the drifter with lethal skills, is alone again, wandering the highways of the American West in search of something to believe in.

As summer turns to autumn, he trades his car for a horse and heads for the mountains, planning to clear his head and regain his edge with some hunting.

But when he runs across an elderly sick man - a Ute Indian from a nearby reservation - Clyde's dream of solitude is quickly dashed.

On the reservation, Clyde finds the old man's daughter, Lawana, and grandson, Taylor, as well as a group of menacing bikers called Reapers running wild in the struggling, half-abandoned village.

Gripped by the desire to do good in a hard world, Clyde offers to stay on Lawana's ranch to help out until her father is better.

As tensions rise between the locals and the Reapers, Clyde's efforts to protect the reservation become a fight for his, Lawana's and Taylor's lives.
