The Trial of Indie Caloo
Ebook
Notorious outlaw Indie Caloo's revenge plans for his mutinous gang find unexpected resolutions as he tries to stay a step ahead of the law, including his ex-fiance and an ex-slave-turned-lawman in pursuit of true justice.
“This book bristles with everything you could ever want from a western—high-adventure, humor, violence, romance, and a sparkling cast of characters—while also charting new ground with its risk-taking and moral complexity. The dynamic between Indie, Sheriff Brick, and Mattie traverses a wild, unpredictable terrain that keeps the reader reassessing their own allegiances until the very end. Matthew Nies has crafted a tale that feels both mythic and palpably real. I couldn’t put it down!”
—J. J. Strong, author of Us Kids Know
“Matthew Nies doesn’t simply tell a story; he breathes the soul of the plains onto every page. This exquisitely poetic debut novel will leave readers hungry for more.”
—Bill Rivers, author of Last Summer Boys
