He could face down any beast in the wilderness. But his own past was a different kind of predator. Bee Adkins is a living legend, a name spoken with respect in the hunting camps and cattle ranches of a fading American West. His skills as a tracker are unparalleled, his courage forged in the harsh deserts of Texas and the revolutionary battlegrounds of Mexico. He can hunt jaguars in the jungle, guide Hollywood royalty, and build a pack of hounds renowned across the country. Now, in the years following World War II, Bee has finally carved out a fragile peace for his family. He has a steady job, a home in the California groves, and a resilient partnership with his wife, Viola, a woman who has walked through fire and survived. For the first time, it seems the ghosts of his violent past might finally be laid to rest. But the world won't let a man like Bee rest. His growing fame attracts the attention of Hollywood's elite, pulling him into high-stakes hunts that test his limits. Yet with celebrity comes new danger. The past he fought to bury refuses to stay dead, and the modern world presents challenges his wilderness skills can't conquer—from professional conflicts that challenge his integrity to the heartbreaks of a father watching his children grow up too fast. When a threat emerges not from the wild mountains but from the civilized world he sought, Bee is forced to unleash the cold fury he has long suppressed, risking the very peace he fought so hard to build. Driven by a desire to provide and a deep need to protect, Bee is pulled between the dangerous allure of the hunt and the quiet duty of being a husband and father. He is a man who understands the wilderness perfectly, but is only just beginning to learn that the most important trails are the ones that lead back home. The Road to Redemption is the powerful, sweeping, and poignant conclusion to the Bee Adkins saga. It is a masterful story of a man's final journey to find peace in a world that never stops testing him, and the devastating truth that even for a legend, some storms cannot be outrun. A sweeping, character-driven novel in the tradition of Larry McMurtry's Lonesome Dove and Philipp Meyer's The Son .
