  • Spanish pesos / by MacDonald, William Colt,
    Winghorse was a wide-open town where gun law was the only law-- and where Reece Rudabaugh's fast, highly-paid gunslingers had formed a welcoming committee, ready at a moment's notice to blast anyone who dared to defy their land-hungry boss. Andy Farlow looked like just a saddle-weary, shiftless Texas ramrod when he rode into Winghorse. But he was a man with a mission, and he wasn't about to let anyone stop him from finding the 100,000 Spanish pesos he suspected were in the area. He'd be happy to shoot anyone who got between him and the gold. Rudabaugh's guns were tough and they had quick trigger-fingers, but they hadn't met anyone as single-minded as Farlow before -- a man who had the courage to fight, and perhaps even to die ...
  • The boy in the suitcase / by Kaaberbol, Lene

In an increasingly desperate trek across Denmark, Nina tries to figure out who the boy is, where he belongs, and who exactly is trying to hunt him down.
  • The stranger from Abilene : a Ralph Compton novel / by Compton, Ralph
    "Rancher Cage Clayton was hired to track down a man who years ago had left a trail of destruction in his wake. Though he doesn't know who his target is or what he looks like, Clayton does know that he's is in Bighorn Point. Finding him shouldn't be too hard."--Provided by publisher.
  • Rusty Sabin : a western story / by Brand, Max,
    Rusty Sabin, born to white parents, was brought up by the Cheyenne Indians who had given the young red-headed boy the name Red Hawk. His ability to heal the sick and make strange magic were widely honored throughout the tribe. But in his twenties, Red Hawk set out to take his place among white people. When Rusty and his stallion named White Horse were nearly at the frontier post of Fort Marsden, the river boat he was riding in was grounded, and a man called Bill Tenney came to his rescue. Rusty doesn't know much about the white man's ways -- especially a white man like Bill Tenney, a thief and a fugitive. Tenney is only interested in one thing -- Rusty's white stallion, considered sacred among the Cheyennes. Meanwhile, Major Marston, who considers Rusty little more than a savage himself, is determined to come between Rusty and his sweetheart, Maisry -- and the Cheyennes do all they can to compel Rusty to return to his tribe.
  • Six-gun gamble / by Newton, D. B.
    As Mark Malloy bit the tip off his big cheroot and sauntered down the road, he didn't look much like the rough-and-tumble cowhands around town. With his tweed coat and carefully creased trousers, he didn't look like he belonged here -- and he was beginning to wonder if it was time to take his leave of Saunderstown. The gambler had lost three times in a row, and his stash was dwindling. But a chance to win it all back was too good to pass up. The game took a change for the better when a tipsy stranger arrived and sat at the table. In the process of losing everything, the stranger, in desperation, threw in a deed to a piece of rangeland that presumably had plenty of water. Malloy walked away with the money and the deed. What appeared to be a wonderful stroke of luck was the beginning of Malloy's worst nightmare ...
