Tom Bligh thinks he is making a safe passage through Arizona to Maricopa Wells

In fact, he’s about to get involved in a whole lot of trouble.

When a highway robbery takes place on route, Bligh feels there is more to it than meets the eye.

He starts to investigate El Mexicano, an elusive but infamous bandit terrorising the south-west.

As he hunts for his man, Bligh is led further into the vast Arizona wilderness. And what he finds will shatter all of his expectations...

On the border of the US and Mexico, where the law seldom reaches, he pursues justice - and a hidden treasure.

But in these Badlands, the truth is not always what it seems.

Badlands is an action packed western full of intrigue, deception and revelations.
