BLINDED BY BLOOD

Bobby Budd rode out of Colorado with one killing behind him and dozens yet to go. From New Mexico to Indian Territory, Budd became one of a rootless army of half-crazed, half-drunk killers for hire—building an ugly legend as the Coyote Kid. Honest men paid the Kid to rid themselves of rustlers. Along the way, the innocent died, too.

WANTED BY THE LAW

Now, former Apache campaigner Major Gerald Bowen is bringing law to the land, hiring a few good frontier marshals and putting them on the bloody trail of the territory's worst outlaws. John Wesley Michaels is one of those lawmen—and the Kid is his quarry. But when Michaels gets to Arizona, he finds out he won't be working alone. A stubborn woman insists on riding at Michaels' side. Because she's met the Kid face-to-face. . .and she wants to be the one to gun him down.

"Gritty, fast-paced...a classic Western." —W. Michael Gear and Kathleen O'Neal Gear, authors of People of the Mist on The Lawless Land
