“Crazy Jack Dagget” by Lou Bradshaw (DB118821)

Narrated by Stephen Van Doren (5 hours, 20 minutes)

"JL Tate had more than a headache running around trying to get Jack Dagget locked up and out of his worries. Unfortunately for JL, Jack, Dagget was out of jail before the young US Deputy Marshal could finish his dinner, Crazy Jack Dagget was on the loose again. There was no time to figure out what happened or who was to blame. Crazy Jack had found that a six-gun was almost as much fun as stealing horses. Crazy Jack had gone on a rampage, and JL Tate could only stay one step behind the random bodies he found. JL would have to forget about dining with the sweet young ladies of Silverton. He had other business to attend to." -- Amazon.

“Apache Lawman” by Phil Dunlap (DB120017)

Narrated by Shawn Hertel (5 hours, 14 minutes)

"After he discovers an empty army prison wagon and some dead bodies just outside of Cochise, US Marshall Piedmont Kelly is even more surprised to find out Sheriff John Henry Stevens has been kidnapped. While Kelly deals with the confusion that has erupted in town, his Apache partner, Spotted Dog, tracks the escaped prisoners through the scorching desert of the Arizona Territory. As if a missing top lawman in town wasn’t bad enough, Cochise? s craven mayor has sworn in a total stranger as the new deputy sheriff. Carter Standish is a fast-talking braggart whose epic tales of heroism immediately arouse suspicion. Kelly doesn’t trust him, and when he discovers that the local bank is about to become the temporary repository for a hundred thousand dollars in payroll, he starts to have even more reservations about this newcomer. But with Kelly and Spotted Dog working a one-two punch, they’ve set out to foil the bank plot, get the prisoners back on the road to the justice they deserve, and smoke out Standish’s true intentions."--Amazon.com.

“Bad hombres” by William W. Johnstone (DB122691)

Narrated by John McLain (10 hours, 39 minutes)

"He blew into town like a tornado--a mysterious stranger with money to burn and a sadistic streak as wide as the Rio Grande. He says his name is Benson and he's come to invest in the town's future. First, he showers the banks and local businesses with cash. Then, he hires a pair of drunks to fight and get arrested so he can check out the local lawmen. After that, he warms up to a lady of the evening--with deadly results. That's just the beginning. By the time Slash and Pecos return to town after a quick-and-dirty cargo run, Benson has enlisted half the outlaws in the territory for his own private army. The local lawmen are quickly slaughtered and the US marshals are no match. With looters amok and killers festering on every corner, a person would have to be stupid or crazy to try to take the town back ... Luckily, Slash and Pecos are a little of both. They've been around long enough to see the worst in men--and they know that the best way to stop a very bad hombre ... is to be even badder"-- Provided by publisher.

“The wicked die twice” by William W. Johnstone (DB 122688)

Narrated by John McClain (10 hours, 37 minutes)

“Not many men get a second chance at life. But thanks to a chief U.S. marshal who needs their help, the bank-robbing duo of Jimmy 'Slash' Braddock and Melvin 'Pecos Kid' Baker are on the right side of the law. As unofficial marshals, they've agreed to pick up three prisoners from a Milestown jail and escort them to Denver. Sounds easy enough, until they learn the prisoners are an unholy trio of sadistic cutthroat killers known as Talon, Hellraisin Frank, and the Sioux called Black Pot. And they've managed to escape before Slash and Pecos even show up."-- From publisher.

“Lawless prairie” by Charles West (DB11934)

Narrated by Jack Fox (6 hours, 30 minutes)

“Bone necklace” by Julia Sullivan (DB119027)

Narrated by Doug Tisdale Jr. (8 hours, 10 minutes)

"In the summer of 1877, the bedraggled remains of the Nez Perce tribe took on the U.S. Army and, despite being badly outnumbered and outgunned, emerged victorious. Inspired by true events, Bone Necklace captures the intensity, violence, and unexpected conclusion of America's final "Indian War," told from the perspectives of a Nez Perce warrior, an Idaho militiaman, and an English painter who gets caught up in the violence. Combining heart-thumping action with an unforgettable cast, the novel centers on the relationship between two fighters, who are both enemies and allies in this war. Bone Necklace is a tale of survival in which the Nez Perce not only overcome staggering odds but also win the grudging respect of a war-weary nation. While deeply rooted in American history, this remarkable story continues to resonate, illuminating modern debates around institutional racism, journalistic bias, and the call for courage in times of moral crisis." -- Amazon.
