Blue Norther is the 4th book in the Ben Blue series.
As Ben settles into the life of a rancher, like any developing businessman, he is always striving to improve his business. The best way to improve his business is to improve his product with some good breeding stock. Ben along with Patty’s grandfather, Sam Stellars, go on a cattle buying venture. The venture turns to an adventure as they are set upon by renegades before they can look at a single cow. Ben and Sam are forced to stop in a quiet little Texas town with a dark secret, a secret so dark that even the townspeople don’t suspect. Ben Blue is hell bent on exposing that secret and cleaning out the nest of snakes that thrive on it, or leave it in ashes…. It’s their choice.
