In "Death in the Saddle," a young rancher’s trust is shattered when she catches her foreman rifling through her safe—only to be knocked unconscious and left on a runaway horse, her fate hanging by a thread. The story unfolds with tense, grounded stakes, as danger rides in from within the very ranks she once relied on.
