The Ranger: A Contemporary Western Novel (Concho Book #1)

BEST-SELLING AUTHOR A.W. HART RETURNS WITH A BANG IN AN ALL-NEW WESTERN SERIES. Concho Ten-Wolves is a Texas Ranger working the Rio Grande border between Mexico and the U.S. His father was black, his mother a full-blood member of the Kickapoo Traditional Tribe of Texas. He remembers neither of them. Both disappeared soon after Concho’s birth and his Kickapoo grandmother raised him on the tribal reservation just outside Eagle Pass, Texas. Often bullied as a youth for his differences, Concho soon grew into the promise of his big hands and wide shoulders. Hatred of him remained in some; fear joined that emotion in others. Concho learned to walk a solitary path, which first took him away to college and then to Afghanistan as an Army Ranger. Now, a group of Neo-Nazi terrorists has taken over a mall in Eagle Pass. One hostage is the woman Concho loves. The only path Concho can see is straight ahead and through. "Fog the sage and powder the air with the rough-'n-ready A.W. Hart!" – Peter Brandvold, bestselling author of the Yakima Henry westerns.
