Coffin Nail Woman - eBook

They buried Marshal Eli Kline in a pine box and called him the best man Dry Creek ever had.

Ada Kline buried the truth with him.

Until she pried up a loose floorboard and found the tin box: rolls of stolen payroll, pages of dates and splits, and the name Silas Jensen—Coffin Nail—written over and over in her husband’s careful hand.

Now the outlaw who put three bullets in Eli’s back is riding into town to collect what’s left. The mayor wants the scandal hushed. The railroad detective wants a quiet report. And Coffin Nail wants his ledger back—along with the woman who can still read it.

Ada Kline has worn black long enough.

From the graveyard hill to the blood-soaked streets of a town built on lies, one widow is about to drive the last nail into every story they told about her husband—and into the man who taught him how to rob graves before he filled them.

Coffin Nail Woman is a stand-alone revisionist Western for readers who loved The Searchers, News of the World, and True Grit, but wanted the woman to finish the reckoning herself.
