Will Bearfoot, a Shoshone Indian and BLM ranger, returns to the high desert of Midas County after a twenty year absence. The big-wigs in Washington need a hammer for a nasty nail and have sent their best to deal with the powder keg that is Harlan Hale, whose face is being splashed across the television news every night. The crusty Nevada cowboy is clinging to a dying way of life, at war with the Federal Government over grazing rights for his cattle, and he's brought his own army with him this time -- scores of ranchers and militia groups from all over the West have flocked to his aide, armed to the teeth and ready to fight. To his neighbors, he's a hero. To the feds, he's a reckless man, a trespasser, an inciter of violence. Caught in this violent maelstrom are two other players from Will's past -- John Henry Hale, Harlan's oldest boy, now a firefighter who has seen too much death in his years on the job. He doesn't want his father to be the next body he finds. And John Henry's wife, Jordan, Will Bearfoot's first and only love, the girl he left behind after being accused of a youthful but inexcusable crime. Jordan is solidly behind her husband, but when she learns of Will's return, long-buried feelings suddenly stir. Holding Fire is a tender and tragic tale of the modern west, a story of good people struggling against the forces of nature, not the least of which is the beautiful and terrible power of attraction, of instinctive love. Three good people will be forced by circumstance into making questionable, potentially disastrous choices about everything they hold dear.
