Death Rides the Iron Horse
7 pp · Western-Frontier

Tex Farrell, a wandering lawman posing as a ranch hand, arrives in Gordonville just as violence erupts across Salinas County—and discovers that stolen railroad dynamite is being used to sabotage the very line he's sworn to protect. With the maiden run scheduled for tomorrow and a killer already at work, Tex must uncover who's orchestrating the plot before the train becomes a target.

Violence in Bloodstone County
7 pp · Western-Frontier

Sheriff Kitty Carson maintains law and order in Bloodstone County—no small feat when gun-slinging outlaws and skeptical locals constantly test her authority. When the notorious Banchick gang robs the saloon, Kitty pursues them alone into dangerous territory, proving that a woman with grit and quick hands is more than equal to the job.

Jaws of Destruction
8 pp · Western-Frontier

When false "Apache" raids terrorize the Deep Valley settlers, young Sheriff Gary suspects the attacks are a cover for something far more sinister—a scheme to drive honest folk from their land. With help from an alert livery worker and a can of white paint, Gary sets a clever trap to expose the real culprits behind the raids before the next attack can strike. This Western Frontier tale proves that a quick mind and steady nerves can outgun any outlaw plot.

The Bonanza Creek Murderers
8 pp · Western-Frontier

Jim Charles arrives at a gold strike with justice on his mind when a miner named Douglas is murdered during a hold-up—and the killer must be silenced before he can identify his attackers. Using clever detective work and the distinct mineral composition of gold dust from different claims, Jim sets out to expose the murderers operating in Bonanza Creek, even as they scheme to eliminate him before he can piece together the truth.
