The Marshal of Agua Perlado


Book Description

In the quaint, peaceful fishing village of Agua Perlado, Wes finds the family of his beloved Marisól Martinez de Silva. He also wonders what to do with the rest of his life. The one thing he knows for sure is he won't go back to being a lawman. Until some banditos come along. Maybe the ride isn’t over quite yet. In more ways than one. When a firebrand named Coralín blows into the room as if she's a whirlwind, Wes is almost as confused as he is intrigued. Suddenly caution is not a viable option. Wes arrests those who would destroy his adopted town, repels attacks, and swaps tales with the proprietor of the local cantina, who is also the keeper of the tales for Agua Perlado and the surrounding region.




The Battle of Tres Caballos


Book Description

Finally Wes is settled in his life in Agua Perlado, but life and fate have a great deal more in store for him. He is surprised to meet two people from his long-ago past. One is a powerful friend and a force for good in the region, and the other is an enemy he didn’t even know he had. The action continues as Wes accepts a special appointment that he never expected, battles an enemy who is more cunning and vicious than any Comanche, and has a first-hand experience with the magic that is common at that place on the horizon where reality just folds into imagination.




In the Cantina at Noon


Book Description

Over the past 25 years, the world has changed and Wes has grown older.




South to Mexico


Book Description

Wes crosses into Mexico for what probably will be the final time. This part of the saga contains a touch of the tall tale, a touch of magic realism, and the wide-open spaces of the desert and the sea. Of course, those are more similar than they are not. Both are filled with angry gods who conspire to pit man against the elements and man against himself. Wes makes new lifelong friends and retires a few more enemies on his way to Mexico and the rest of his life. Most importantly, he learns who he truly is and the value of love, magic, a family, and a good horse.




The Scent of Acacias


Book Description

Once again Wes is face to face with a pair of enemies from his long-ago past. It's difficult to account for a hatred that would span so many years and over 1300 miles only to wreak vengeance on a man for an alleged slight. And Wes' inability to account for that kind of hatred could well cost him everything he loves. The enemies include a would-be Comanchero from the old days, a much younger man Wes once saved from a life of crime, and a gambler and professional killer from Georgia. These and others will conspire to hunt down Captain Crowley, the leader of the Guerrero Rangers, and harm him in ways from which he might never recover.




The Right Cut


Book Description

A group of bad guys, out-of-luck drifters, screw-ups and wet-behind-the-ears boys head south, lured by the promise of gold and adventure. The final Talbot in the line is the instigator, driven by his warped perspective of history. Will he succeed where others have failed to bring his nemesis, Wes Crowley, to his knees?




No Kind'a Time


Book Description

A Border Patrol captain is ordered by his superiors to stand down regarding gun shipments across the border. But when he receives a hot tip from a Mexican contact regarding a gun-runner, he can't just not do his job. On paid leave, he sets up an ambush with a few friends — including an Arizona Ranger and an off-duty deputy sheriff — on a hill overlooking a border road. They expect to thwart the gun-running operation. But it's all a ruse. The gun-runner is hauling human cargo, not guns, and not for the purpose of resettling them in the US. They will be a lesson. The Arizona Ranger, Dale Crowley, recognizes Manuel Vallejo, the gun-runner, as the man who escaped justice years earlier when he raped and beat a young girl. Vallejo peers up at the hill. Somehow he knows Crowley is there. And he delivers a chilling edict. How far would you go to protect your child?

The Marshal of Agua Perlado


Book Description

Having left his old life as a Texas Ranger behind, Wes Crowley travels to Mexico to seek the family of his beloved Marisol Martinez de Silva. He finds them in Agua Perlado, a quaint, peaceful fishing village in the state of Guerrero. He becomes friends almost immediately with the entire family, especially Miguel, and basically adopts them as his own. The feeling, for them, is reciprocal. Except for one firebrand. The youngest remaining sister, Coralin, believes Wes a showoff and a ruffian. Or at least that's what she says. Coralin blows into a room as if she's a whirlwind and leaves the same way. Although Wes is almost constantly confused by her words and actions, he is intrigued to the point that caution is not a viable option. The one thing Wes knows for sure is he won't go back to being a lawman. But when some banditos come along and murder a member of this peaceful fishing village, Wes realizes he must protect those who deserve it... in his new job as the marshal of Agua Perlado. There's plenty of action in this book as Wes arrests those who would destroy his adopted town, repels attacks and swaps tales with the proprietor of the local cantina, who is also the keeper of the tales for Agua Perlado and the surrounding region. The ride isn't over quite yet."
