Book Description
The colorful figures of the western American frontier, the Indian fighters, the mountain men, the outlaws, and the lawmen, have been romanticized for more than a hundred years by writers who found it easier to invent history than the research it. "Bat" Masterson was one such character who cast a long shadow across the pages of western history as it has been routinely depicted. "A legend in his own time," he was called in a television series produced in the 1960's. A legend he has become—one firmly fixed in the popular imagination. But in his own time W.B. Masterson was a man, a less-than-perfect creature subject to the same temptations and vices as his fellows, albeit one who, through circumstance and inclination, led an exciting life in an exciting time and place. As buffalo hunter, army scout, peace officer, professional gambler, sportsman, promoter, and newspaperman, Masterson's career was stormy and eventful. Surprising to many readers will be the account of Masterson's career after his peace officer days, during his employment as a sports writer and columnist. The gun-toting western peace officer reputed to have killed more men than Billy the Kid (not so, says DeArment) spent his last years happily in New York City, writing for a nationally known newspaper. This book, the product of more than twenty years of research, separates fact from fiction to extricate the story of his life from the legend that has enmeshed it. It is the most complete biography of Bat Masterson ever written.

Book Description
First in a series: The mysterious life of a gorgeous stiff leads a Manhattan detective from Broadway to Coney Island to find her killer. Lawrence Lariar was one the most popular cartoonists of the twentieth century. But from the 1940s through the 1960s, he also crafted a line of lean and mean detective and mystery novels under his own name as well as the pseudonyms Michael Stark, Adam Knight, Michael Lawrence, and Marston La France. Lariar now gets his due as a leading artist in hardboiled crime fiction. There she was in PI Steve Conacher’s office: totally naked, and given the knife wounds, unquestionably dead. The nasty business makes lurid headlines, but it’s also drawn the attention of a frantic new client. Grace Masterson says she needs help finding her husband, a runaway jewel thief with a tomcat rep. The lonely housewife also craves a little more intimate service on the side. Conacher doesn’t say no; although it does raise his brows. But Grace isn’t the only puzzle. The DOA stranger has left a trail of secrets that lead from the posh office of a sexy Park Avenue barrister to Greenwich Village haunts to smoky New York jazz clubs. As the two cases begin to collide, Conacher’s not sure whom he can trust, whom he’s supposed to protect, or who’s got the motive to kill again. Stone Cold Blonde is the 1st book in the PI Steve Conacher Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

Book Description
Mystery Writers of America Grand Master Bill Pronzini debuts a thrilling western with expert storytelling and a mysterious hero who will appeal to Pronzini's Nameless fans. Not all the folks who roamed the Old West were cowhands, rustlers, or cardsharps. And they certainly weren’t all heroes. Give-a-Damn Jones, a free-spirited itinerant typographer, hates his nickname almost as much as the rumors spread about him. He’s a kind soul who keeps finding himself in the wrong place at the wrong time. That’s what happened in Box Elder, a small Montana town. Tensions are running high, and anything (or anyone) could be the fuse to ignite them: a recently released convict trying to prove his innocence, a prominent cattleman who craves respect at any cost, a wily traveling dentist at odds with a violent local blacksmith, or a firebrand of an editor who is determined to unlock the town’s secrets. Jones walks into the middle of it all, and this time, he may be the hero that this town needs. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
