A trail drive cook is many things—cook, doctor, counselor, and friend.
Joe Haines signs on with the Circle B cattle drive, hoping the long trail north will carry him beyond the reach of the law. To the cowboys, he soon becomes far more than the man who prepares their meals. He treats injuries, settles arguments, offers hard-earned advice, and becomes a trusted friend to every rider in the outfit.
But Joe is hiding a dangerous secret. He is wanted for a murder he did not commit, and the law is closing in.
When the truth finally catches up with him in Abilene, Joe discovers that the men he cared for along the trail are prepared to stand beside him.
The Trail Cook's Secret is a stirring Western tale about loyalty, justice, and the friendships forged beneath the wide-open sky.
