The Dodge City Affair (Grady Hart, Episode 1) [Fiction | Western] by Sevastian Winters

The Dodge City Affair is the first episode in the Grady Hart series—a gritty Western noir set on the edge of violence, power, and buried memory.In 1874, Dodge City is a town split down the middle by the railroad and held together by fear. As tensions rise and men gather with guns in their hands, Grady Hart rides into town carrying a mystery that haunts him: an entire year of his life is missing, erased without explanation.Drawn into a brewing conflict fueled by manipulation, revenge, and desperation, Grady reunites with an old ally whose need for vengeance threatens to burn everything to the ground. What begins as an attempt to stop a single man from igniting chaos quickly becomes something far more personal—and far more dangerous.This is a Western where justice is unclear, victory is costly, and the past refuses to stay buried.
