Patch Elkins and Gus Roundtree: Not Without a Fight

In this gripping collection of tales, Deputy Sheriff Gus Roundtree faces a series of intense challenges in the towns of Barrett Creek and Shady Bluff. From confronting a fugitive in "Caught in the Spider’s Web" to defending a despised man from a lynch mob in "Defending the Devil," and unraveling a mystery involving a potentially dangerous reverend in "Sins of the Brother," Gus grapples with moral dilemmas and the darker side of human nature. The narrative takes a suspenseful turn in "Charlotte Duncan’s Deadly Secret," as Patch's wife uncovers hidden dangers while helping an injured young mother and her baby.
