Some thefts are committed with a gun. The worst are committed with a pen. Two days down a cold California coast, the old mission town of Santa Elena greets every stranger with a lie: a road that bends around nothing at all. Surveyor Silas Thorne reads it the moment he arrives—and he has come a long way, for a sealed parcel that has waited four years in the keeping of the parish priest. By morning the priest is dead, his hundred-year-old map of the mission lands is gone, and the town is grieving a man the law will call a victim of his own failing heart. Silas knows better.

Forty Feet West is the first book in the Boundary Man Series — quiet historical thrillers set in the American territorial West.

The prose is measured, deliberate, and character-driven, with long investigative passages, period dialogue, and a methodical protagonist who works by reading documents and asking the right questions in the right order.
