Adonias Low Kindle Edition
Murder. Robbery. Kidnapping. Welcome to Napa Valley, California.
To lawmen and bad men alike, The Low Man is a ghost story. The most feared bounty hunter to ever walk the territories. Whispered to be a Native American shapeshifter, a renegade Pinkerton detective, or the Bible quoting son of a mad preacher. No one knows for sure. He’s a spectre outlaws scare each other with around campfires.
Adonias Lowe lives in the highlands of Napa Valley with his children, scratching a hard living as a farmer and occasional wagon guard. When a wealthy gin baron hires him to see a valuable shipment safely to San Francisco, the opportunity comes just in time to keep the family afloat.
But when the job turns into a massacre and his daughter is abducted by a deviant killer, Adonias is forced into a reckoning that will awaken a darkness he’s long tried to bury. As the corpses mount up, a dying sheriff tries to make sense of the madness, scalp hunters saddle up and ride for blood, fame and riches, and the local Wailaki are coming down from the hills, singing war songs of the Lost White Brother.
Welcome to Napa Valley, California. Where fruit grows thick on the vine, and blood runs deep.

"The Christoper Brookmyre of horror. Watson knows his genre and he’s not afraid to subvert it. Readers, on the other hand, will be very, very afraid." Louise Welsh, bestselling author of the Plague Times trilogy
"A really enjoyable, gore filled and thrilling read. A fast paced romp with a huge side salad of blood, guts and dismemberment." Ginger Nuts of Horror
"Ambitious and spectacular." Undiscovered Scotland
"Irvine Welsh with teeth." Snakebite Horror
"An exhilarating, wild, violent read." Booksquawk
"The skill of writing was unreal. An absolutely unparalleled use of tension, coupled with the horrible feeling that something is out there." Book Odyssey
"Watson has hit it out of the park again. Each story I read breathes new life into an old trope." Splatterpunk Zine

The detail in some parts in this book will make you shiver at the thought of the pain and horror some of these guys went through on their way to an early grave.
I can't encourage you to read this book enough.
