Desperate Outlaw

7 pp · Western-Frontier

A tough newcomer named Keller arrives in town with a chip on his shoulder and a hidden agenda—one that soon involves a gang of outlaws, a daring robbery, and a desperate hostage situation with dynamite. The Maverick Marshal must use his wits and nerve to stop Keller's scheme before the explosive situation claims innocent lives.

The Pigeon

6 pp · Western-Frontier

A federal marshal carrying a warrant for swindler Jubal Briggs arrives in Silver City, where the wealthy and seemingly upstanding Amos Landis promises to help track him down. When Landis produces an unconscious man claiming to be Briggs, the marshal's suspicions grow—especially after the prisoner mysteriously escapes—and he soon uncovers a scheme far more sinister than a simple con. The Maverick Marshal must navigate a town ruled by violence and corruption to separate the truth from an elaborate frame-up.

The Return of Sandy Runnels

Sandy Runnels returns to Sageville after six years in prison, determined to leave his criminal past behind—but his old gang, led by Rod Scarper, has other plans and won't take no for an answer. When Sandy refuses to rejoin them, he finds unexpected support from the town's new sheriff, the same girl he remembered from years before, and together they must stand against those who won't let him go straight.
