Renegade's Legacy by Rick Dalmas

The mystery man rode into town the day that they buried Big A1 McCord. He called himself 'Brett' - but some people had good cause to suspect he was really 'Dan McCord', a runaway kid returning after almost 20 years - all grown-up and out for vengeance. His arrival shook the town to its foundations; it brought turmoil and gunsmoke to the rangeland and it caused panic and desperate moves among corrupt officials and folk with a bad conscience. But Brett had his own agenda - and when they found out what it was, that part of Dakota would never be the same again.


Death Rider by Boyd Cassidy

When mountain man Rufas Kane stumbles across the body of a harmless cowboy on a hillside overlooking the spirited town of Death, the question everybody is asking themselves is: why would anyone want to kill Dan Cooper?

But all is not as it seems. As the night goes on, an alarming spate of killings shake the town to its foundations, but Gene Adams vows to find the answer and the killer before dawn or die in the attempt.
