As Muldoon pieces together Ludwig's web of counterfeiting, gambling, and extortion across multiple states, he must track the Crimson Gang's operations and catch their boss before Ludwig's connections help him slip away for good.

With a murdered father, a desperate family, and dangerous locals circling, Flint must navigate a conspiracy that runs deeper than anyone suspected to uncover the truth before more blood spills.
When Northwest Mounted Police encounter an armed ambush during a routine spring patrol, they stumble onto a mystery far larger than poachers or petty thieves—one that leads them to James J.

As the Mounties pursue their quarry through the wilderness, they discover that this cunning fugitive has been hiding in plain sight, relying on unconventional tactics to stay one step ahead. The hunters and hunted clash in a tense showdown where the truth about Milton's long disappearance finally comes to light.
