A novel:
1888, California. The Old West town of Path is a small town with a lot of history. Once a hub of local industry at the centre of the brand new railroad, it has since been left to the wolves: literally. Sheriff Red does what she can to keep it in control, following in the footsteps of her father Knox who is legendary for banishing the notorious outlaw Boone Howl – aka the Big Bad Wolf. However, nothing is as it seems as there are Hood family secrets that will bring the entire future of Path into jeopardy. With help from Deputy Pedro Flock and the bounty hunter Jack Bean, Red and the townsfolk must rally together to face the rising darkness threatened by the Big Bad Wolf and his gang of outlaws – the Kids – as they threaten to turn everything upside down in the name of revenge. When the family of the preacher Billy Scape go missing, it’s all Red can do to keep control of her town and not let it tear itself apart from the inside as neighbour turns on neighbour and it is hard to know who to trust. Then, when outlaw Nelly Kid escapes the jail; the bank is robbed; and a train heist rumoured, it becomes clear that there is a traitor in their midst. Will the Big Bad Wolf be triumphant as he tears all they know asunder?
