This is the second book in the Max Blake: Federal Marshal series. Max sets his sights this time on the murderous outlaw sheriff of Aguante, Reno Walker, a chracter we met in the first installment of the Max Blake Western series, "The Killing Trail." But this trail isn't an easy one: Max encounters a band of renegade gold thieves and a trailing squadron of U.S. Army cavalry regulars, a teamster and a former deputy sheriff who both want to see him dead, and a deadly tracker sent from Aguante to hunt Max down. And he continues to wrestle with his own personal demons as the elusive Paul Reyelts, the man who murdered his uncle, haunts his dreams. "Trail of Revenge" continues the highly praised Max Blake series with "some of the best writing you'll see in this genre today" (according to award-winning screenplay writer Peter VanderWall).
