Betrayal — Murray Pura

In the aftermath of the Apache raid, Sheriff Teddy Westcott has some questions for Marianne Freeman, questions about the murder of Ahab Hawthorne that are difficult for her to answer.
Yet before the air has cleared from the attack by Blood Lance, or Marianne can properly respond to the Sheriff's accusations, she and the other widows and the preacher brothers are betrayed, as one double cross leads to another. In a matter of minutes, no one is sure who is on whose side anymore, who is friend and who is foe, or if anyone can be trusted. Meanwhile, on the desert horizon, a new danger is building, one greater than any the preachers and widows have faced before.
Faith and prayers continue to give them strength but there is no certainty that any of them are going to come out of this fresh confrontation alive.
