Forever Sheriff

Coming May 18, 2022

Mark Simms, son of John, the Fugitive Sheriff, and grandson of Luke, the Founding Sheriff, is sworn in as Deputy on his birthday. From the moment his hand touches the Bible, his career is interrupted by cattle rustlers who trace their start back to the money stolen in the robbery that led to his grandfather’s death. The deputy pursues the rustlers who evolve into the ruthless meatpacking monopoly, and he grows into his future: the final Sheriff Simms of Summit County. With his father’s death, he pins on the family star. Before his first act as sheriff, to bury his father and wrap up the decades-old series of crimes, the Spanish flu comes to Coalville. Hardest hit in the whole state, his little mountain community needs his leadership.
