Some men just can't die quietly.

Every sunrise drags him from the grave... and into the fight.

Texas Ranger Buck Dallas was meant to die. Cursed by a Comanche shaman, he falls with the sun and claws out of the dirt at dawn—half man, half memory, bound to a trail that will not let him rest.

This time, Buck and fellow Ranger Lane Newsome are hunting Deacon Coe, a sadistic outlaw who vanished into the blood-soaked wilds of Comancheria with his murderous gang. But the chase is no ordinary manhunt. Along the way, their ragged company grows: Michael, an albino drifter who sees too much; a towering guardian sworn to protect Lane's bride-to-be; and an enigmatic elder who claims two millennia of life—and appears differently to every eye.

When a mysterious woman known only as Miss Hattie tasks them with guarding a child who may hold the fate of the world, the pursuit becomes something far darker. Buck rides through blood, shadow, and ancient vengeance, pressed on all sides by men, monsters, and the land itself.

Death rides with him. Something older and hungrier waits ahead. And for Buck Dallas, the sun will rise—whether he wants it to or not.

From New York Times bestselling author Reavis Z. Wortham, The Sound of a Dead Man's Laugh continues the Hollow Frontier series—a relentless vision of the West, mythic, bloody, and rising from the grave.
