In Fort Morgan, Sam Starr, Jack Pate, and Roger Beemis arrive in town with their saddlebags bulging with the loot of their most recent robbery. Fort Morgan seems like the perfect sanctuary for them, especially when they learn that the town marshal has just died and there's no hurry to replace him.The only trouble the community faces is constant rustling. This doesn't concern the strangers until their own horses are rustled, and they set out to get their horses back. After all, who is in a better position to know just how thieves operate? In Man Behind the Gun, Jason and Arty Swift's lives change suddenly when they find their father murdered. Jason knows who did it, and sets out to settle the score. With no witnesses, Sheriff Whitney is unlikely to do anything to help him. Arty is left alone not only to see to their father's burial but to run the ranch all by himself, an all but impossible task. But Arty refuses to give up, no matter how much Jason's reign of vengeance brings trouble to the ranch.

In the fall of 1961, KGB assassin Bogdan Stashinsky defected to West Germany. After spilling his secrets to the CIA, Stashinsky was put on trial in what would be the most publicized assassination case of the entire Cold War. The publicity stirred up by the Stashinsky case forced the KGB to change its modus operandi abroad and helped end the career of Aleksandr Shelepin, one of the most ambitious and dangerous Soviet leaders. Stashinsky's testimony, implicating the Kremlin rulers in political assassinations carried out abroad, shook the world of international politics. Stashinsky's story would inspire films, plays, and books-including Ian Fleming's last James Bond novel, The Man with the Golden Gun. A thrilling tale of Soviet spy craft, complete with exploding parcels, elaborately staged coverups, double agents, and double crosses, The Man with the Poison Gun offers unparalleled insight into the shadowy world of Cold War espionage.

This inspiring book, Lawyers, Guns, and Money by Carol X. Vinzant, recounts the heroic efforts of Tom McDermott, a lawyer and victim of the infamous Colin Ferguson rampage on the Long Island Railroad, to take on the gun industry. He is among the leaders of an innovative and promising strategy to circumvent the NRA's political power and courts constrained by interpretations of the Second Amendment. Through civil action he hits the gun companies where it hurts most: the bottom line. Making insurance difficult for manufacturers to get, he has helped reduce the number of cheap hand guns, "Saturday Night Specials," often used in crime. This is a riveting account of tragedy turned into action, and how the law can be used to defend victims rather than enrich corporations.
