Last Job for a Killer The governor said, "You've come for amnesty?" "That's right." Slattery's mouth was dry. "How come?" the governor breathed. "You, of all men?" Rage thickened Slattery's voice. "Why not?" "Amnesty for Ben Slattery. You want to quit your side of the law and join ours?" Slattery said "Ours? You don't mean ours, you mean yours, don't you Governor?" "Ours," Fallon barked. "Mine and the rest of the law-abiding citizens of this Territory. You want to join us?" Slattery was silent. “Why? Why are you here? Why now?" "Because," Slattery said slowly, "I'm sick of the whole damn' business. Because I'm tired of it all." He stood straight and he knew he was telling the truth, even though it was a lie. He wasn't seeking amnesty. He was seeking the easy way to put a bullet into Fallon's heart.

SLADESlade is on a bad streak with the cards when he loses both his saloon and his pride in one day. With nothing left to lose, he heads out for his friend Chet Crispin’s spread to rest and recoup. But what he finds there is an old love, May Hogue, her drunken husband, and no Crispin. He also finds a tinderbox situation about to explode. The town banker, Abbott, is playing the ranchers back and forth, knowing the railroad is coming. The diminutive sheriff, Wilkinson, is just waiting for the day when May’s husband takes a stray bullet, chafing in his impatience to make her his. And Big Thomas is trying to build the largest ranch in the valley—by whatever means possible. Somewhere in all this, Crispin just gets in the way. And now Slade is the only man left who stands between Thomas and the Hogues, between what’s right…and what is.THE MANHUNTERBen Ross rides into town with only one thing on his mind—to find the man who gunned down his father and bring him back to justice. The townspeople know Ross is a manhunter, and they fear and detest him. But Sheriff Big Max sees a different man, one who carries a gun, but doesn’t want to use it; a man tormented by conflicting memories of finding his dead father, and trying to sort out what really happened to him. At first it seems obvious that Ed Stanton, co-owner with his brother of the Broken S ranch, is the man Ross is looking for. Big Max promptly locks him up. But there is more to this situation than meets the eye. Outside of town, a range war is looming between the Broken S and the Crescent C ranches, and Ross has just put himself right in the middle of it.
