Book Description
Line Rider is the true story of the life of Joseph Harrison Pearce (1873-1958), written by his own hand. During his lifetime, the “wild west” from the storybooks still lived and breathed in one of the last places to be modernized—Arizona. Joe, as he calls himself, took various roles throughout his adventurous life, including sheep herder, cowman, courter, tracker, line rider, and, most famously, that venerated breed of law man know as the Arizona Ranger. His story leads him to encounters with cattle rustlers, gamblers, saloons, stampedes, horse thieves, Indian trackers, outlaws, and nearly every other subject that later made its way into western legend. But this story is absolutely real, told in his own voice in vivid detail.

Book Description
In January of 1920, the Eighteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution went into effect and the sale and manufacture of intoxicating spirits was outlawed. America had officially gone “dry.” For the next thirteen years, bootleggers and big city gangsters satisfied the country’s thirst with moonshine and contraband alcohol. On the US-Mexico border, a steady stream of black market booze flowed across the Rio Grande. Tasked with combating the liquor trade in the borderlands of the American Southwest were the “line riders” of the United States Customs Service and their colleagues in the Immigration Border Patrol. From late-night shootouts on the Rio Grande and the back alleys of El Paso, Texas, to long-range horseback pursuits across the deserts of Arizona, this book tells the little-known story of the long and deadly “liquor war” on the border during the 1920s and 1930s and highlights the evolution of the Border Patrol amidst the chaos of Prohibition. Spanning a nearly twenty-year period, from the end of World War I to repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment and beyond, The Line Riders reveals an often overlooked and violent chapter in American history and introduces the officers that guarded the international boundary when the West was still wild.

Book Description
One mistake pits a woman against cold-blooded killers. With no escape, she needs to fight for her life or prepare to die... Orphaned at an early age when her parents were killed in a horrific accident, Amanda Bishop dreams of being a riding instructor, galloping horses, and green pastures. Instead, she’s on the run from gangsters and if she can’t stop them risks not only her own life but those of everyone around her. Bullied in care, Amanda ran away to London where she fell in love with a man, naively not realising he was the head of a major drug operation. When he's arrested, she runs again, but she has something they want, badly - badly enough to kill anyone who gets in their way. Instead of riding horses, she’s on the run from gangsters. She thought she could run away and start over, but was sadly mistaken. She has to face them or lose everything
