Synopsis Killing Mr. Sunday by : Bill Brooks

A LEGENDARY GUNMAN IS MAKING HIS LAST STAND IN JAKE HORN'S TOWN . . . AND HE’S NOT AIMING TO DIE ALONE. Jake Horn once used his hands to heal—now the same hands kill. He was on the dodge for a crime he didn't commit when the town of Sweet Sorrow took him in and rewarded him with a badge he never wanted. Still, this out-of-the-way Dakota hellhole is a good place for a man to get lost in—until legendary gunfighter William Sunday rides up with a price on his head, followed by a parade of bounty hunters, criminals, and cold-blooded killers. A feared gun artist with a murderous rep, suffering from an illness he knows will soon claim his life, Sunday is determined to reconcile with his daughter before his own body does him in. Meanwhile, every human reptile in the territories is closing in for the kill, leaving lawman Jake no choice but a suicidal duty: to stand side-by-side with a dead man who has nothing left to lose.

Synopsis Return to No Man's Land  by : Bill Brooks

He didn't need a star on his chest when he had bullets in his gun. It was called No Man's Land, a notorious stretch of hell on the eastern end of the Oklahoma Territory. This was Indian country, and it was where Caddo Pierce and his gang of Indian outlaws had chosen to roam. Pierce knew the law—federal lawmen could not arrest Indians unless they committed crimes against whites—and he took advantage of it. Cutting a swath of murder and rape through Oklahoma, Caddo knew he could not be pursued by federal marshals or Texas Rangers. The only thing he hadn't counted on—Quint McCannon. McCannon has reached a dark point in his life. Troubled by the loss of his wife and son, his failure as a cattle rancher, and the endless bitter trail he seems to be riding, Quint is looking for a way out. He sees that exit when a judge informs him that a chief of the Indian Police has asked for help in stopping these killers, assistance that cannot be officially supported by the law. McCannon knows it is a suicide mission—one man without a star against a cadre of murderers—but he can't refuse the call for help. Either he will bring back Caddo Pierce or his days of pain will be over.

Synopsis Pretty Boy by : Bill Brooks

THE EPIC LIFE OF PRETTY BOY FLOYD Charles Pretty Boy Floyd became the FBI's most wanted man in America. A depression era young man out of the Oklahoma Hill country decided he no longer wanted to work as a field hand and common laborer. Everywhere in the Dirty 30s, men, and in one case, women (Bonnie Parker) had decided to use a gun to get what they wanted, and so did Charley. His first real job was that of robbing the Kroger Company Payroll Office where one of the women there described him as being "Just a mere boy—a pretty boy." The name stuck and from then on that is what the newspapers called him. His good looks didn't hurt with the ladies either and he ended up with both a wife and girlfriend clear up to the time of his death. FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover had a personal vendetta against what he considered the scourge of the land and set his main Agent, Melvin Purvis to take down the most notorious of them, beginning with Johnny Dillinger who was ambushed outside the Biograph Theater in Chicago, thus moving Pretty Boy to the top of the list.

Synopsis Professionals in Western Film and Fiction by : Kenneth E. Hall

 In American Westerns, the main characters are most often gunfighters, lawmen, ranchers and dancehall girls. Civil professionals such as doctors, engineers and journalists have been given far less representation, usually appearing as background characters in most films and fiction. In Westerns about the 1910 Mexican Revolution, however, civil professionals also feature prominently in the narrative, often as members of the intelligentsia--an important force in Mexican politics. This book compares the roles of civil professionals in most American Westerns to those in films on the 1910 Mexican Revolution. Included are studies on the Santiago Toole novels by Richard Wheeler, Strange Lady in Town with Greer Garson and La sombra del Caudillo by Martin Luis Guzman.

Synopsis Old Times by : Bill Brooks

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....
