The Broken Horseshoe by Billy Hall

Coleman Black is stumped by a string of murders and robberies near the boom town of Deadwood. His best friend, hired to transport money from a cattle sale, is among the victims. Cole is desperate to find answers but, with no clues to go by, the killer could be anyone. When Cole decides to take some inspired advice from a new friend, he has no idea that he is being led directly into the line of fire. Meanwhile, the killer smiles as he silently waits in the cover of timber, his rifle already aimed at Cole's heart...


Hideout at Mender's Crossing by John Glasby

The ghost town of Mender's Crossing was the ideal base for a gang of outlaws to operate from without interference. Then, a group of soldiers are killed defending a gold-train and the army calls upon special operator Steve Landers to investigate. Now, Landers must face not only the gang but land baron Hal Clegg, whose hired mercenaries are driving independent ranchers off their land. He will need nerves of steel if he is to succeed when he is so heavily outnumbered. Can he cheat the odds and win?

But when Jack discovers that Blacklake has cheated the town's most downtrodden inhabitant out of his rightful property, he decides to make a stand. It takes a real man to fight the ruthless Blacklake and when Jack does: the tables finally begin to turn...
