In Glenn Rogers' The Colemans Book 3 The Knife, Caleb Coleman is arrested in Santa Fe, New Mexico, for the murder of his soon to be father-in-law, Colonel Edmund Cabot. Beth, the Colonel's daughter and Caleb's fiancée, is devastated. She believes Caleb to be innocent, as does Zack. But believing Caleb is innocent, even knowing he is, and proving it in a court of law are very different things.
Caleb and Zack had been through a lot since they left Cumberlands almost a year ago. There had been many obstacles to overcome. And the brothers had overcome, and survived and flourished. But they had done it together. Now, with Caleb in jail, soon to be tried for murder, fifteen-year-old Zack must find the real killer and prove his brother's innocence on his own. To make matters worse, Zack becomes embroiled in an ongoing conflict between wealthy cattle ranchers in the area and Mexican sheepherders. When Zack intervenes on behalf of a nine-year-old Mexican boy who was being brutalized by a cowhand, Zack has to kill the young cowhand in self-defense. The young man's hateful father vows to even the score for the death of his son, and Zack has to watch his back. The local constable is useless, neither trying to find the Colonel's killer nor protecting the sheepherders from the cattle ranchers.Videos
