Price - £ 11.99

The Texas Rangers sent Carter O'Brien south of the border with orders to kill a madman. It was said that his target - a murderous bandit named Salazar - had the face of an angel and the heart of a demon. Given the choice, he'd sooner have faced Salazar in a head-on gunfight than turn back-shooter and kill him from hiding, but the only trouble with that idea lay with Salazar's eight-strong gang of cut-throats. It was common knowledge that if you took on one of them, you took on the lot - and even a professional fighting man like O'Brien had to draw the line somewhere...

They said that Chase Donovan had been a Texan Ranger for too long, and that they weren't prepared to put up with his maverick, gun-fast ways any longer. So they took away his badge and kicked him out of the battalion, and he turned into a full-time drunk. Then a wealthy businessman offered to bankroll his very own fight against the lawless. There was only one catch - Chase had to mend his wicked ways. He agreed to give it a go - and wound up trading lead with the bully-boys of North Town, Texas, where bullets were cheap but life was even cheaper...

The Killing Trail


Robert Hale Ltd. informs me that The Killing Trail, my sixth Black Horse Western, will be published on June 30, 2010.

The Dylan brothers ride high in Ouray, Colorado, until they bully a drifter who leaves three of them dead in the street. Nat Dylan, the youngest, swears to hunt down the drifter, Jared Carter, and avenge his brothers. Carter’s trail leads into Arizona country where Dylan meets Wagonwheel owner Colonel Alton Jackson and hires on to kill Jared Carter. But the more he learns of Carter and Jackson, the more he finds himself on the wrong side. He meets Carmen Vasquez, who sees him as an honorable man, and he feels the mutual attraction. Still, on his honor he must call out Jared Carter, but can he survive a gunfight with the man who killed three Dylans by himself?
