About this book

Set in the rugged frontier of 19th-century British Columbia, Boundaries is a gripping mystery-thriller that follows Bob Morgan, a bounty hunter and lawman with a shadowed past. Morgan navigates a world of corruption and lawlessness, where morality is fluid, and justice is never simple. When Mary Ballantine arrives at his doorstep, fleeing an abusive past, Bob is drawn into a dark and intricate web surrounding Charlie Munn, a man whose sinister influence threatens everything. As Bob pieces together the truth, he must confront his own past, making this a tale of survival, identity, and the blurred lines between right and wrong.

 

Call him a bounty hunter, a rangeland detective, an actor, a chameleon, a puzzle solver; whatever title you choose, Bob Morgan will find a way to reshape depravity, corruption and destruction into the manageable and acceptable. All that is necessary is to not expect too much, appreciate whatever improvement may be realized, and don’t look too closely at Morgan’s past.
