Color illustration of three superimposed vignettes: head portrait in profile of man wearing a western hat and smoking a cigarillo; man in western clothing firing a pistol at the back of another man holding a rifle in his proper right hand; man removing his white shirt looking down at a woman reclining on a bed wearing a white camisole and purple skirt with an orange blanket covering part of her proper left leg.

A U.S. marshal sees plenty of both, but this time Custis Long's in for more than his share. He's hunting down a sheriff with a shady past when he gets sidetracked by a few pesky item--like a Wells Fargo stage full of gold. Like a trio of gunslicks headed by a pint-sized pistolero named Mary Lou. Like a pretty schoolmarm who's taken hostage in a holdup ...

Longarm’s been around enough bad guys to know how to act like one… Escorting a wanted man from El Paso to Denver is a peach of an assignment for Longarm, until—right before his eyes—an assassin empties a six-gun into his prisoner. Chasing the shooter off the train, Longarm finds himself caught in a torrential downpour. But his rain of bullets hits its mark. He kills the gunman…only to run into his accomplices in the storm. Lucky for Longarm, they think he is the gunman. Now he can get close to the man who ordered the hit on his prisoner—the Kansas badman Sand Lachlan, who’s proven as elusive as his namesake every time he slips through justice’s fingers… So now it’s up to Longarm to show Sand who’s made of true grit…

When Deputy U.S. Marshal Custis Long stops a stagecoach robbery, he tracks the bandits to a town called Zamora. A haven for the lawless, it's ruled by one of the most powerful, brilliant, and beautiful women in the West--a woman whom Longarm will have to face up close and personal. Original.

Twice the Western adventure—two original Longarms in one volume! LONGARM AND THE AVENGING ANGELS The Avenging Angels cult has stolen her away. A young Mormon beauty who’d spurned their leader’s offer of “divine”—and multiple—marriage. Now, she’s hidden somewhere in the Great Salt Lake Desert—a captive of love. And Longarm is supposed to find her, in a cruel-faced land of merciless sun. Or forever hold his peace… LONGARM AND THE WENDIGO Wendigo, the Evil One, has climbed down from the sky to stalk the Montana reservation, leaving a trail of broken bodies in the prairie sun. Or so the Indians say. Federal Marshal Long has other ideas—about outlaws, crooked land schemes, and a fiery mixed-blood beauty named Two-Women who, Longarm discovers, is more than enough for one man to handle…

Five killer outlaws, one killer beauty, and a night Longarm will never forget... Longarm's trapped up in the Ruby Mountains with a bad spell of amnesia—and a woman too wild to ever forget. And until Longarm gets his senses back, he's got no choice but to trust her—before the Haskill Gang gives him a new memory...his last.
