DESERT DISASTER Lance Tolliver wants nothing more than to solve his friend's murder and go home. But his only clues are the strangest he's ever seen: a blackened right hand and a rare cactus bud found with the body. As Lance gets closer and closer to the truth, he finds a band of border terrorists, a secret Indian cult, and more—all leading to an ultimate three-way showdown between outlaws, the Yacquente tribe, and lawmen. All Lance can do is pray he solves the case before getting caught in the crossfire.

Known to everyone as the King of Crazy River, Big Vink Thorpe certainly looked like a king. Tall, handsome, open-hearted, a true cattleman of the old type, he was known and liked throughout the Crazy River country. But one night he was found dead, still clutching a poker hand -- three aces and two eights -- of sinister significance. Rance Duncan, the murdered man's foreman, was determined to avenge Thorpe's death. And circumstances forced him to play a lone hand in his search for the killer.  Available only in Wheeler Western 6.

Ramrod Ridge was a ghost town and a hideout for the dregs of the frontier that no law-abiding community would tolerate. Here Simon Crawford, a tyrant who ruled with fear and ill-gotten wealth, held absolute power. The trail that led Caliper and Nogales, two footloose and reckless cowboys, to Ramrod Ridge began when they interrupted a necktie party where Crawford's henchmen were trying to extract the whereabouts of a cache of stolen gold.

Hawk Nielson was quick-on-the-draw, ruthless -- and the most powerful man on the range. His holdings spread over thousands of acres and his power spread from one end of the Mesa to the other. His enemies were plenty -- all those he had cheated and crushed.
Vard Whitlock had more reason to hate him than most. Land and money were the things Hawk cared about, until he had a son. Then his pride almost matched his greed. At last, Vard knew how to strike back at Hawk Nielson -- he just had to wait for the perfect opportunity. When the time was just right, Vard kidnapped the baby and hit the trail, where he began to work out the revenge demanded for Hawk Nielson. It took twenty-five years, but when the showdown finally came, it caused the most violent fight the Mesa had ever seen.
