The Medicine Man
By Tuttle, W. C.
In the rugged Modoc range, rancher Bud Daley faces ruin when his entire herd vanishes and suspicion closes in around him. Burdened by debt, betrayed by circumstance, and caught between ruthless power and frontier justice, Bud must navigate a world where loyalty, reputation, and survival are never certain. Blending Western mystery, sharp cowboy humor, and hard-edged range drama, W. C. Tuttle’s tale captures a lawless cattle country alive with danger, wit, and moral reckoning.
