"Once word gets around that this fella is willing to part with a century just to find the boy, he won't be able to hide long. Every stiff this side of Montreal will be on his tail." A century. A C-note. One hundred dollars. A price on Jake Harrow's head that a hell of a lot of men are going to try to collect. When he left the relative safety of the little farm near Leader, Jake planned to be gone only long enough to confirm that Paul Delora was dead. Instead he finds himself with a head tax paid for by a man with deep pockets and an even deeper grudge. That's when Jake makes a desperate decision. In spite of the stories he's heard about his old man, he gets back on the trail of his pa, the only man in the world he's sure can take Delora down in a fight. While an unlikely partnership with an old acquaintance brings him closer to his goal, the more Jake searches, the less he likes what he finds. Because Jake's hunt for the biggest grifter in his life will force him to travel down dark paths in his own heart and dig up ghosts that he thought were too well hidden to find. Ghosts and Grifters is the third book in the Dust and Devils series.

With the life of his sister on the line and time running out, Jake is forced to face the price that comes with carrying the Harrow blood in his veins.

"I just learned that Jacob Harrow has a son. And I'd bet it'd be easier to make the boy talk than his old man."

Still battling his own memories that threaten to destroy him, Jake follows the trail from the back streets of Edmonton to the Vancouver shipyards, trying to stay one step ahead of his father's enemies that he now knows are searching for him.

"I never shoulda stolen the dead man's coat." Hunkered down inside a boxcar, racing across the frozen prairie toward Winnipeg in January 1931, that is exactly what Jake Harrow does to save his own life.

But Jake has enough trouble of his own. Driven out of his home by the man he worked for and wading through the hell left by his pa, the last thing he needs is to take on another person's struggle.

Will Jake find the home he longs for? Or will he be destroyed by the devils within and without? Dust and Devils is the first book in the Dust and Devils series set in Canada in the 1930s, following Jake Harrow.
