TW: Manuel Roba (let's face it, dude's a scumbag), colonialism, US imperialism, caucasity, implied trauma, mentions of abuse, historical accuracies AND inaccuracies, Canon-Typical Violence, Possessive John "Soap" MacTavish, Serial Killer Simon "Ghost" Riley, Crimes & Criminals, Organized, Smut in later chapters.
AN: I've been working on my second fic all because the idea came to me while I was listening to "Deadman" by Smash Into Pieces and "Reaper" by Silverberg. So check out both of those songs because they are very Ghost-esque in my humble opinion.
Also, Soap's horse's name is an Easter Egg for my all time favorite fic on here. Can you guess which one?
I also saw some folks on here talking about Cowboy!Ghost so hopefully y'all get a chance to check this story out lol
Enjoy!

Summary:
"I'm gonna hunt you down to the edge of the world."
The year is 1880, and Sergeant John "Soap" MacTavish of the infamous Pinkerton National Detective Agency is a man of many talents. Soap possesses the rare gift of an eididic memory and the ability to render artwork of crime scenes and suspects with a high degree of accuracy after seeing them only once. These talents quickly got him assigned to the Pinkertons' Task Force 141 under the command of Captain John Price.
While Price is in Texas handling a contract on behalf of a disgraced former general named Shepherd, whose life was threatened by a mysterious and monstrous serial killer simply known as "Ghost," Soap is assigned to Las Almas on an emergency sub-contract with Price's friends in the Vaqueros on behalf of Manuel Roba, a gold mining baron in Mexico who received a similar threat days apart from Shepherd.
However, not everything is as it seems, and the killer who can seemingly be in two places at once may have monsters of their own to vanquish.
