Danny Coogan is an Afghanistan veteran with a new job as a Montana Fish and Game Officer. He's looking forward to a simple life in the wilderness around the small town of Darwin, but his life becomes a nightmare when he is shot and left injured and alone in the freezing countryside. His assailant? Edmund Goodrunner, a local Native American Danny had considered a friend.
Thus begins a brutal battle of lies, deception, and revenge with drug runners, weapons dealers, kidnappers, and killers. Danny finds himself thrust into an FBI investigation and forced to juggle the threats of a dangerous domestic terrorist group that threatens every aspect of the community he loves and has vowed to protect.
Danny, along with his surrogate father, Senior Game Warden Ben Whitetail, and the local Tribal Police Chief, instill the rich flavor of rural America through poignancy and down-home humor as they struggle, each in their own way, to bring peace back to their snowy town.
If you like mysteries and crime stories with resilient heroes, slam-bang conflict, and nail-biting suspense seasoned with a splash of wilderness humor, then you’ll love Frontier Justice. Perfect for fans of Craig Johnson and CJ Box.
