Product Description When the sheriff of Willow Springs, Texas, is killed, Jefferson Davis King is determined to sift through the list of suspects--all competitors for a rich piece of grazing land--to catch the man who killed his friend. Original. From Publishers Weekly Barton and Williams ( Warhorse ) have merged the western and mystery into a workmanlike period whodunit that will satisfy, if not excite, readers of both genres. It's 1894, and Texas Ranger Jeff King is riding toward a long-delayed rapprochement with his estranged half-brother, Sheriff C. D. Hollis of Willow Springs. Someone has postponed that reunion permanently, however, and King must become Hollis's avenger. He seeks out the lawman's killer in a town full of conspirators, land-grabbers and beautiful women--all of whom are intent on getting King out of town as quickly as possible. King soon discovers that five of Willow Springs' leading citizens had plotted to kill Hollis. But the shooting took place before the plotters were ready. Did one of them jump the gun? Or is the killer someone on Castleberry Ranch, land coveted by the plotters--land on which dwells the woman who has stolen King's heart? Adrift in the town's immorality, King pursues the killer and turns up the tension, resulting in four new corpses before he confronts his quarry. In the process, King loses several of his best suspects and the girl he loves, while keeping true to the code of the West. Copyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc.

MANHUNT

While searching the Colorado high country for a killer he has never seen, Adam Hunter is sidetracked when he saves the life of ranch foreman Edge Pardee, becomes involved in a range war, and falls for a beautiful woman

High Country

It was the end of an era, and the beginning of an ever-evolving world of fast money, fast women,fast talkers...and fast death.  Texas was just as noisy, reckless, and wide open in 1914 as it was in the days of the Wild West -- with one important exception: success no longer paid off in livable wages, it paid off in millions. Lee Temple, fresh out of a Fort Worth jail and broke, knew that to survive he'd have to give in to change. No sooner had he ditched his saddle than he got caught in a fracas involving the newly rich oil trash Hargroves.  There was Harry, the bright, sensitive, but quick-tempered would-be writer he'd befriended; Harry's ruthless, violent father, Cotton; and Elizabeth, Cotton's free-thinking daughter, as beautiful as she was daring...and dangerous. Before long, Lee was riding shotgun for a major Hargrove concern -- dodging lies as well as a murderous sniper's bullets in a new kind of business that was as dirty as the grimy black earth from which it was born.  Bringing to light the last and most compelling chapter of the American frontier, Wayne Barton and partner Stan Williams are the most exciting and distinctive storytellers writing about the American West.
