Boone saddles up and heads for the hills on a rescue mission, racing against time as the outlaws begin to think they’re on a wild goose chase and might as well cut their losses, kill the scientist, and make their getaway.

Charles Ray Unleashes Bass Reeves – Hot Temper, Cold Revenge

23 January 2026|Authors, DSP Articles

The trail is hot and justice rides hard—The Adventures Of Deputy U.S. Marshal Bass Reeves: Hot Temper, Cold Revenge by Charles Ray is officially out and AVAILABLE NOW on Amazon as a Kindle e-book and paperback!

Charles Ray, the bestselling master of authentic frontier tales, delivers another gripping chapter in the legendary Bass Reeves saga. After helping the army track down deserting soldiers, Bass Reeves and his trusted sidekick Henry Lone Tree head back toward Muscogee. They decide to stop for the night in the railhead town of Checote Switch, just a couple of days’ ride from home.

What should have been a quiet layover turns deadly when a railroad worker is murdered—and suspicion immediately falls on a hand from a nearby ranch. With Bass as the only law within reach, he and Henry set out on the trail, finally cornering the suspect near the Red River and taking him into custody.

But the real trouble begins there. The dead man’s friends want blood—immediate, frontier-style justice—and they’re not willing to wait for a judge or jury. Bass now faces the hardest choice of his career: step aside and let vengeance take its course, or stand firm, protect his prisoner, and uphold the letter of the law—even when the whole town wants to see a rope.

Bass does what Bass always does—he follows the law. In a world where tempers run hot and revenge runs cold, that decision could cost him everything.

Ray’s signature style shines: meticulous historical detail, unbreakable moral conviction, tense standoffs, and the quiet heroism that made Bass Reeves one of the most respected lawmen in the Indian Territory. Fans of the series will love this latest ride—packed with action, character depth, and the kind of frontier justice that still resonates today.

With Nick Wale’s promotional push and DSP’s chart-climbing machine behind it, Hot Temper, Cold Revenge is already gaining ground and poised for big things in 2026.

WHAT IS THIS ONE ABOUT?

After helping the army track down some deserting soldiers, Bass Reeves and his sidekick, Henry Lone Tree, head back to Muscogee. They decided to stop for the night in the railhead town of Checote Switch, a couple of days’ ride from Muscogee. While there, a railroad worker is killed, and suspicion falls on a hand from one of the nearby ranches. Bass is the only law in the vicinity, so he and Henry set out on the ranch hand’s trail, finally cornering him near the Red River, where they take him into custody. They then have to protect the killer from the desire of the dead man’s friends to dispense immediate justice. Faced with the choice of allowing the aggrieved men to get their revenge for the murder of their friend or facing them down and following the letter of the law, Bass does what he always does. He follows the law.
