"A keen judge of horseflesh takes a wild ride in this suspenseful new Western by USA Today bestselling author Ralph Cotton Two deputies fresh from a hard-won gunfight with the gang of notorious outlaw Dolan Coyle stroll into a saloon in the dusty little town of Broken Hat, inquiring after one Will Summers. The men are looking to swap out their exhausted horses, and they could use extra men, too. Just on the outskirts of town, Axel Coyle waits with the remnants of his brother's crew, ready to shoot down the men who captured their leader. The deputies offer Summers a paid position in the posse escorting Dolan into federal custody. If they only knew how well acquainted the horse trader once was with the killer chained up out front, they might second-guess their proposal. Dolan had chosen a reckless trail for himself, like Summers and many others had done in their early years. Summers could not say exactly what had directed him off that trail before it managed to settle into his blood, but he's grateful. He just doesn't know if that resolution will hold now that his past has landed on him out of a clear blue sky..."--

In a chaotic blast of gunfire, the James Gang fled a posse's attack -- and the infamous Jesse threw his cousin Jeston Nash a hoard of stolen cash. But dodging the law with $30,000 in a dusty carpetbag is a risky proposition. Hoping to lie low in the mountains of the Northwest, Jeston and his partner, Quiet Jack, find themselves on a journey into the dark heart of human nature -- and deadly animal instinct....KILLERS OF MANJeston Nash is used to dodging bullets, but when a hired thug's rotten remark gets under his skin, he can't let it go -- and he makes himself an instant enemy aboard a snowbound train owned by the sleaze's boss, Ben Larr. A rich son-of-a-gun hell-bent on getting the grizzly who robbed him of a leg, Larr is a fouler piece of work than the usual brand of lowlife Nash comes up against. When Larr blackmails Nash into leading his hunt, Nash discovers the killers of man in Larr's twisted domain -- a netherworld filled with violence and drugs, obsession and revenge. Before long, he finds himself face-to-face with Laura, Larr's gorgeous but murderously manipulative wife, and one savage grizzly, a man-killer straight from the jaws of hell....In a tale sparked with his trademark wit and bull's-eye historical detail, Ralph Cotton captures the essence of the Old West in the adventures of his extraordinary outlaw hero, Jeston Nash.

Jeston Nash finds himself in the middle of one of the most dangerous fights yet when his agreement to tame an unrideable horse for a well-bred lady places him right in the middle of a marital squabble. When he hit Fort Lincoln, Jeston Nash had a belly full of wounds and was down one boot after his horse was stolen and he fought hard to get it back. While it hadn't been the most pleasant trip through the dreaded Black Hills, at least he hadn't drowned. Though the look alike cousin of Jesse James, for the time being calling himself Beatty, swore he was going respectable, he now finds himself in New Orleans amidst a team of drunks and blue uniforms, with a promise to the wife of General George Armstrong Custer that he would deliver an unrideable horse known as Honest Bob. But the truth was the General's wife, Elizabeth, wasn't very interested in the horse she'd persuaded Nash to deliver… Mrs. Custer was on the warpath with the Sioux and General Custer's commanders in Washington. Suddenly, Nash finds himself in the middle of the most dangerous kind of fight: a marital squabble. Before he knows it, he's riding alongside a hardheaded, buffalo-hunting, blond-haired general whose sure glory awaits them in a place known as Little Big Horn.
