Sometimes fate rides a man down a violent road… Jake Horn was a healer—until he was falsely accused of murder and had to run. Now the hands he once used to cure the ailing have a new purpose: wrapped around the handles of twin six-guns. A GOOD MAN IN A BAD TOWN Aptly named, the town of Sweet Sorrow, within the Dakota territories, is the kind of place that draws all manner of mis­fits, drunks, gamblers, and dreamers—a perfect town for Jake Horn to get lost in. But a strange plague of madness, brutality, and murder seems to run rampant here—and a slippery Texan named Roy Bean is pressuring Jake to bring a much-needed sanity to the lawless outpost. But accepting the job of Marshal could be the last humani­tarian act Jake ever performs. Because thunder is rumbling on the horizon—and a famous bounty hunter from Bismarck is rolling in on the evening stage, determined to collect the substantial reward being offered for bringing the fugitive Jake Horn in stone-cold dead.

THE DAY OF JUSTICE IS AT HAND A talented healer forced to become a fugitive for a killing he wasn't responsible for, Jake Horn found sanctuary in the rough Dakota town of Sweet Sorrow—and in the tin badge that marks him as the local law. Now his discovery of a dead ranch hand is bringing his demons home. As a doctor and a sheriff, Jake's witnessed death in all its dark guises—and he recognizes a murder when he sees one. But asking too many questions of the wrong people is asking for trouble, and suddenly expert killers are gathering with their sights on a lawman who's got a need to see justice done. The big gundown is coming, as relentlessly as the winter snow whipping across the prairie. And there's nowhere for a good man to hide when five shooters blinded by hate won't leave Sweet Sorrow until he's dead.

Author of the Dakota Lawman series As Nate Love placed the flowers on his murdered son’s grave, he thought that he shouldn't have had a son so late in his life. He wondered who it was would shoot that boy in the back over one damn cow? It was the cruelest of fates, he thought, not to know who did it. A dead boy should be able to tell who it was. There ought to at least be that kind of justice in the world. He knew there wasn't, though. He would have to find it for himself. But how could he do it alone? He wasn't what he once was; he was just old bones now.... That was when he went and wrote a letter to Monroe Hawks—"the meanest son of a bitch that ever lived." When they rode for Hanging Judge Parker, they were respected by the godfearing and the godless alike. But that was then.... Now, both are long past their prime. Both know that soon they are going to be facing younger, stronger, faster men. And both Monroe Hawks and Nate Love know they won't be coming back....

IT WAS SOMETHING LIKE JUSTICE… AND SOMETHING LIKE REVENGE. GUNMAN They came to the frontier to escape their pasts and build their future. They came as cowhands, gamblers, homesteaders, and whores.

MEN WENT CRAZY Quint McCannon had fought and survived the Civil War—and faced killers and madmen across the frontier. But nothing had prepared him for one brutal winter in Cheyenne.

But a thousand miles of dancing prairie grass, howling thunderstorms, whores, renegades, and murderers lie before him. For Quint McCannon, finding a woman on the run means going up against the ghosts of his own past and a bloodlusting killer—all the way to the Rio Grande.
