Former Confederate cavalryman Sam Miller has spent years running from the ghosts of war. When a lame horse leaves him stranded in the struggling town of Harlan Creek, he plans to stay only long enough to earn enough money to move on.
Instead, he discovers a community living under the ruthless control of cattle baron Amos Armstrong, whose hired gunmen use fear, violence, and murder to seize the land of honest settlers.
When Sam recognizes Armstrong's chief enforcer as Cole Duggan-a man whose brutal actions during the Civil War changed his life forever-walking away is no longer an option.
As tensions rise and the fight for justice turns deadly, Sam must choose between protecting his own future or risking everything to stand with people who have no one else to defend them.
Filled with gripping action, unforgettable characters, and the harsh beauty of the American frontier, The Path to Perdition is a powerful Western of courage, redemption, and one man's final stand against corruption.
