Mystery, Thriller & Suspense

Mystery

From the back cover: Big Tappan Kittery had learned to kill in the War. Killing became a nightmare, but the end of the war was not like waking up, because the nightmare didn't end. The bloodshed continued around Kittery like a plague, with Arizona Territory as its breeding ground...and the Desperados Eight as its breeders. There was only one way for Kittery to stop the killing...Take down the Devil. With his seventh novel, The Devil's Blood, our author Kirby Jonas has put himself shoulder to shoulder with not only the greatest Western writers of all time, but in our opinion the greatest writers. Period. Jonas has developed his main character, Tappan Kittery, into the type of a character that anyone with any spirit of adventure would love to ride with, and he has woven this lawman's trail into a twisted web that the most jaded of readers will love.

The Devil's Blood

Jacob and Jason West were only looking for a new home. Their plans were to start a freighting business in 1875 Virginia City, Nevada. But Fate had different plans for them. Jake, the older brother, fell in with the Four Seas Ranch, owned and run by adopted brothers Brandon Chamberlain and Sandoval Cobra. Circumstances led him to become a member of their "Pistoleers," a group of gunfighters hired to fend off and chase away any interlopers to the valley which the Four Seas wanted to call their own. Jason, on his way to meet Jake in Virginia City, also ended up waylaid in Pine Valley. Only Jason was on the other side of the fence--the side of Mexican sheepherders. Without either brother knowing they were on opposite sides, a war began in earnest between the two factions, and Fate intended for someone to die. Would it be the tubercular Brandon Chamberlain, his evil, powerful brother Cobra, or the West brothers?...

Reapers of the Wind

Idaho Territory, 1879 .... Some things never change. Child abuse is one of those things. Austin Everett is sixteen years old, living in rural Idaho Territory with his father and stepmother, and suffering regular beatings for everything he has done wrong, and many things he hasn't. That is, until the day a mysterious gunman kills his father, Rock Everett, in the dark of the night. Austin is now a true orphan, and for reasons not even completely known to him he goes after the man he believes to be his father's killer. He is joined by a recently resigned lawman from Idaho City by the name of Alto Martinez, who has left his badge behind to hunt down his former best friend, who has murdered his wife and young baby in cold blood. On a trail of vengeance and death side by side, Austin and Alto meet up with the one-armed, one-eyed vaquero named "Lefty," and the beautiful Desia Anderson, who is following her runaway daughter north into Montana. Together, the four of them travel to the gold camps of Montana and a rendezvous with destiny that will change their lives forever.

The Secret of Two Hawks

When the town of Drygulch, Idaho Territory, goes to the wolves, desperate men turn to Matthew Morgan--town tamer. But while Matthew Morgan may prove himself big enough and strong enough and ruthless enough to bring peace to a town, how will he survive the battle of the two beautiful women who claim his heart? This book is written in Jonas's typical style, where character development comes at a premium, and you grow to know the characters inside and out. This book, as Kevin Costner would say, is a meal, not a snack, and its scope is large and panoramic. You will laugh and feel anger, and you will cry, with the people who inhabit this epic novel.
