Make no bones about it—Slocum’s out for revenge… He’s crossed the treacherous Sierra Madres. He’s suffered the deaths of his friend and lover. He’s been thrown into a rat-filled pit by drunken sailors. John Slocum’s trip to San Francisco’s Chinatown hasn’t been easy. But things start to look up when a lovely Asian flower saves his life—and Slocum finds himself not only in her bed, but in her debt… Her kindness, however, comes with strings attached. Ah Ming needs Slocum’s help to find her father, who’s been kidnapped by the Sum Yop gang. To pay his due, Slocum will find himself in an exotic world of opium dens and illegal jade trafficking. And he’ll learn that, if you head as far west as Frisco, it’s only a matter of time before you start heading east…




Slocum 417

If Slocum is on your trail, draw your last breath… It’s the closest shave Slocum’s ever had—and that’s saying plenty. But rescuing a dark-haired beauty seconds ahead of Apache war parties is just the start of one long nightmare ride that leads to Raul Gomez, an outlaw who’s using the raids to burn a path of terror and destruction throughout Texas. Slocum vows to personally track Gomez and his army deep into hostile territory. Slocum may be outnumbered and sorely outgunned, but that won’t stop him from bringing war to this mad dog with his own special brand of hell…




Slocum #396


Book Description

Slocum’s greedy—for vengeance… Everyone in the lawless town of Almost There has it. And Slocum ain’t above profiting from it. Guiding four greenhorn prospectors up Desolation Mountain should be easy money, but an ambush takes the life of three of them—and the other one, Clement Baranksy, has gone missing…. Slocum ain’t the kind of man to take money for nothing. He’s got to find Baranksy to set things right—especially after his son and luscious, headstrong daughter beg him for help. Turns out a man is running a scavenger trade, preying on miners. But gold is no match for Slocum’s lethal lead.




Slocum #404


Book Description

When events spin out of control…only Slocum can ride out the storm. Driving the stagecoach to Fort Stockton without a shotgun messenger is keeping John Slocum on his toes. He’s carrying a huge payroll for the Army, and he’s dead sure road agents are after it. But before Slocum can tackle the sharpshooter that’s after the gold, he’s caught up in the tornado that destroys half the town. It seems Slocum’s got a knack for surviving—except now he’s got to help find the missing payroll, or wind up in jail. And there’s a mysterious lady with flame-red hair and a strange request that could be deadlier than the storm…

Far Eye Abernathy may have a gift for guns…but he doesn’t have a shot against Slocum. With his dying words, a sheriff tells Slocum to find the men who shot him. Though he’s never been too partial to the law, Slocum accepts the mission—and even the deputy’s badge that goes with it. Finding the bad men in Spencer Flats, Slocum takes stock of the situation. Rob Bensonn is a mean, nasty killer—but Slocum’s dealt with characters like him before. What he’s never seen before is a man with the shooting skills of Far Eye Abernathy. Going up against Far Eye won’t be easy…and the third man in that rag tag gang may be even worse.

Slocum’s on the trail of some man-eating wolves… After collecting the reward for capturing Oklahoma Bill and his gang, Slocum’s ready to hightail out of Rocas Rojas, New Mexico. But before he can pack his saddlebags, Jack Halsey comes tearing into town—minus some fingers—the result of a run-in with a pack of wolves. Jack wants Slocum’s help tracking the wolves because they ate something more valuable than his fingers. But Jack’s tales keep changing, and Slocum doesn’t know what to believe. And when Apache warriors and some of Oklahoma Bill’s former associates join the chase, Slocum must uncover whatever it is Jack is really hiding—and whatever Jack believes is in the belly of the beasts…

Slocum’s got a new partner—with a bad memory… A week ago, John Slocum collected a $7000 bounty on Teddy Cutler. But now he’s spotted Teddy walking around Phoenix, Arizona, free as a bird—with no recollection of robbing four stagecoaches and killing three men. The law believes Teddy’s been afflicted with amnesia, and Slocum’s been given the job of keeping an eye on him to determine whether Teddy’s condition makes him an innocent man, or if he’s just playing possum…

If he’s behind the brutal attack, as Slocum suspects, they’re not out of the woods yet. After all, when songbirds this beautiful turn up, trouble’s never far behind…
