Book Description
A SMALL TOWN BECOMES THE BATTLEGROUND FOR A VERY DEADLY FAMILY FEUD. WELCOME HOME, KID When Jim Dunn, better known as the Kid, rode into his old home town of Cairo, he figured he'd have to shoot fast. He figured they'd remember his saloon-wrecking sprees and hell-raising exploits of old. What he didn't figure on was finding his father six feet under and his brand-new stepmother running the family ranch with an outlaw crew. Nobody, not even his girl, thought Jim could get the ranch back from the fast-drawing gang hired by his stepmother. But the Kid had swapped lead with the best of them in the three years he was freewheeling around the West. And when his best friend catches a bullet that was meant for him, the Kid gets mad. Real mad. Three-time Winner of the Spur Award Wayne D. Overholser Author of "Law Man" and "The Violent Land."

Book Description
The murder of a New Mexico rancher sets off this explosive Western thriller by the New York Times bestselling authors of The Big Showdown. Rancher George Cullen doesn’t like the Santa Fe Railroad’s plan to drive a spur through his town. He intends to put up a fight—even though everyone else in Trinidad, New Mexico, including his own daughter, stands on the side of the railroad . . . Sheriff Caleb York rides out to the Bar-O to reason with his old friend. But Cullen’s ex-partner, Burt O’Malley, is back in town after a twenty-year stint in the pen. And hired gun Alver Hollis, aka the Preacherman, has shown up with two cronies, claiming they’re in town for a big poker game. With the whole town on the verge of a shootout, Caleb keeps a firm grip on his Colt .44. Soon enough, he’ll take dead aim to keep the peace . . . Shortly before his death, legendary crime writer Mickey Spillane asked that his friend and protégé Max Allan Collins—himself an acclaimed writer—complete his unfinished works. Among them was an unproduced screenplay featuring Sheriff Caleb York, which sparked the action-packed, truly gritty Caleb York Western series. Praise for Mickey Spillane and Max Allan Collins “Collins displays his mastery of Spillane’s distinctive two-fisted prose.” —Publishers Weekly “Spillane is a pioneer of tough-guy ethics.” —Washington Post

This is the tale of two boys who lied their way into the army when they were only fourteen. McLain fought for the North, C. C. for the south. They meet four years later on the last day of the fighting. They have nothing to go home to, so they throw in with General Jo Shelby and go to fight in the Mexican Civil War, where they are promised good pay and land. McLain falls in love with the daughter of a powerful Mexican aristocrat, who forbids the marriage. Heartbroken, she takes her own life, breaking McLains heart. The boys have known nothing but violence in their young lives, so they solve the problem by killing the father and running for their lives. The story follows them for the rest of their days, which are filled with more killing and heartache. They kill over a hundred men in one day at a railway camp in Colorado, where the railroads thugs are torturing and killing conscripted Chinese laborers. They are old, in their sixties, when they fight their last fight and discover, at long last, peace and redemption.
