Longarm GIANT novels…the biggest and best in Western adventure! When three train robbers turn up dead in a saloon, the finger points to none other than the Calgary Kid--a sinister, hard-drinking cuss who can draw a gun quick as lightning and shoot true as death. Longarm is on the case—but before he can get to the truth, he's kidnapped by the outlaw's lady friends. They make sure his hands are tied while someone else busts the kid out of the stir, someone wearing a badge, someone calling himself U.S. Deputy Marshall Custis Long.

After stealing a wagonload of jewels from a roomful of Chicago society-types, two thieving actors streak westward with their loot. Their mastery of disguise has Longarm chasing shadows, but before the final curtain, his brand of six-gun justice makes Longarm the star of the show. Excerpt from Rails West (Jove, 5/93).

Longarm plays bodyguard—and the job has its benefits… Custis Long would rather have his backside branded than act as bodyguard to Congressman Howard Palmer’s ornery, ugly wife and her daughter. Seems the suit’s liberal notions about Indian reservations have Western whites up in arms. But a job’s a job. And things start looking up: since he’s been on this detail, an anonymous, veiled lady has visited his bed at night—giving him something to remember in the morning. But when assassins start shooting at the motley threesome, things get uglier than Mrs. Palmer without makeup. Even more so when Longarm realizes their real target—him…

Longarm finds out just how bad the bad girls of Rio Blanco can be! U.S. Deputy Marshal Custis Long is off to Rio Blanco County to catch some thieves stealing Indian Agency cattle. Two of the rustlers are women, so it should be interesting. But Longarm is being stalked by two hired killers. Some very wealthy folks want him dead so badly that they’ve secretly put a bigger bounty on his head than the James Boys and Billy the Kid combined. They say that Longarm is Colorado’s answer to the late Wild Bill. But lately, he has trouble enough to overwhelm even the legendary Hickok. After he’s forced to kill Turk Tarrington, Longarm has the whole bloodthirsty clan on his trail. And a certain woman who kills the men she seduces hasn’t forgotten that Deputy Marshal Long turned down her advances. As soon as Liza Carver hooks up with her murderous accomplices, she plans to treat herself to the greatest thrill of all—luring Longarm to his death.

Longarm dodges death as a bigwig’s bodyguard! Custis Long likes blowhard politicians even less than unwanted publicity. But he gets hit with both barrels when he saves presidential up-and-comer Gordon Maxwell from a deranged assassin in Denver. And things only get worse when Maxwell and his beautiful wife persuade Long into acting as a bodyguard on Maxwell’s western tour. Problem is, the man Long is replacing has a short fuse, a long mean streak, and a fast trigger. Now, Longarm has to figure out how to keep Maxwell alive—while dodging a bullet with his name branded on it…
