The Restless Trail Westerns follow Tommy Duvall, a working cowhand who makes a bad decision and spends three books dealing with the fallout. Duvall and his friends head down to Mexico to rob a gold-for-guns exchange, but the job does not go as planned. Along the way, he meets Marisol, and what started as a simple heist story turns into something with higher personal stakes.
The trilogy was published in quick succession in 2024, with Along the Restless Trail, The Restless Trail Home, and Back on the Restless Trail all coming out within a few months of each other. The series was named one of the top five Westerns of 2024, and Peecher has said he wrote it without much planning, letting the story reveal itself as he went. That loose, instinctive approach gives the books an energy that suits a character like Duvall, who is always a step behind his own trouble.
