Civil War veteran Cleve Trewe locks horns with a ruthless cattleman whoā€™s hungry for land, thirsty for powerā€”and out for blood . . .

BLOOD IN SWEET RIVER

After a long, hard journey west, Cleve Trewe is ready to settle down. Heā€™s got his beautiful wife Berry in San Francisco, a baby on the way, and his sights set on a gorgeous piece of land in the Sierras. This sweet slice of heaven is aptly named Sweet River, and itā€™s the perfect place to build a ranch, farm, and home for his family. Problem is, Cleveā€™s not the only one with his eyes on the land. A big-time cattle baron named Asa Hawthorn is prepared to use threats, intimidationā€”and armed thugsā€”to get what he wants. Worse yet, Cleve knows the man from the darkest days of the Civil War . . .

Cleveā€™s not about to surrender his claim.. Heā€™s got his buddy Kanaway by his side, a family of Paiute Indians on his team, and the property papers ready to sign. Thatā€™s when the real trouble starts. To squash the deal, Hawthorn unleashes his deadliest henchmenā€”including a would-be gunfighter from Cleveā€™s past and a killer-for-hire who never misses. The Paiute family recognizes some of them as the men who slaughtered their tribeā€”a massacre that Cleve suspects was the work of Asa Hawthorn. Either way, a major battle is brewing. And the crystal blue waters of Sweet River are about to turn red . . .
