John Watkins (the Fighting Parson)

John Watkins, the Fighting Parson, arrives in Blanco's Run to preach—but finds himself caught between a banker's murder, a framed drunk, and a young woman named Marilyn Ives who's been coerced into a dangerous engagement to protect her father's secret. With a killer loose and innocent blood about to spill, the Reverend must untangle the truth and rescue Marilyn from the clutches of a man who means to make her his "Queen of Eden."

Amateur Night
9 pp
Cal Courtland (Texas Ranger)Pill Peters (inept Texas Ranger)

When inept Texas Ranger rookie Pill Peters stumbles into a solo confrontation with the notorious Notch Gun Gang while disguised as an outlaw, his terrible eyesight and bumbling determination somehow turn the tables in the most chaotic way possible. Cal Courtland and the other Rangers rush to what they assume will be Pill's final stand, only to discover their hapless recruit has inadvertently dismantled the entire outfit through sheer accident and blind luck. It's a wild ride that proves even an amateur can get the job done—just not in any way anyone expected.
