The trail is hot and justice rides hard\u2014The Adventures Of Deputy U.S. Marshal Bass Reeves: Hot Temper, Cold Revenge<\/strong>\u00a0by Charles Ray is officially out and\u00a0AVAILABLE NOW<\/strong>\u00a0on Amazon as a Kindle e-book and paperback!<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

What should have been a quiet layover turns deadly when a railroad worker is murdered\u2014and 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.<\/p>\n

But the real trouble begins there. The dead man\u2019s friends want blood\u2014immediate, frontier-style justice\u2014and they\u2019re 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\u2014even when the whole town wants to see a rope.<\/p>\n

Bass does what Bass always does\u2014he follows the law. In a world where tempers run hot and revenge runs cold, that decision could cost him everything.<\/p>\n

Ray\u2019s 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\u2014packed with action, character depth, and the kind of frontier justice that still resonates today.<\/p>\n

With Nick Wale\u2019s promotional push and DSP\u2019s chart-climbing machine behind it,\u00a0Hot Temper, Cold Revenge<\/strong>\u00a0is already gaining ground and poised for big things in 2026.<\/p>\n

WHAT IS THIS ONE ABOUT?<\/strong><\/p>\n

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\u2019s 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\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n
