Slocum makes a run for the border… When Slocum saves a pretty young Mexican girl from a brutal gang, it wouldn’t be right to leave her on her own. So the next thing he knows, he’s hightailing it to her hacienda with a bunch of serious pistoleros hot on his trail—and a pair of gunslinging bounty hunters not far behind. But cold-blooded killers have to take a number if they want a piece of Slocum. He’s got some business to settle with a certain Senorita—and some things take a little time to get right. His trackers might as well hold their horses—since Slocum’s got enough bullets for everybody…

Slocum's taken on plenty of bad guys before, but he's outnumbered this time--by cattle rustlers, thugs, and the law. Thrown in jail for a murder he didn't commit, Slocum breaks out . . . and soon finds himself tracked by a pack of bounty hunters. Now he's leading his predators in a treacherous chase--with the stakes as high as they come.

There’s too many itchy trigger fingers in Harleyville—and only one Slocum… Harleyville may be a little town—but there’s a big-time range war brewing and more trigger-happy cowhands than you can shake a stick at. With bodies piling up, either side could use an experienced gunslinger. Slocum figures it’s someone else’s problem—but he winds up right in the middle of it anyway… When things turn ugly Slocum takes a side—but he’s not the only gunslinger in town. Aaron “One Shot” Parsons rode into Harleyville willing to slap leather for whoever pays him. He may be the best shooter in the West—but he’ll have a hell of a time drawing a bead on Slocum…

Slocum’s in the range war from hell! Belle Nelson killed two bounty hunters who murdered the wrong man—her husband—before the third high-tailed it. The sheriff praised Belle’s bravery, but she’s not waiting for the law to catch the one that got away. He’s a hired gun out of Texas who had no reason to think her husband was an outlaw with $500 on his head—a point she’ll emphasize before she blows him to hell. As he’s passing time in Wyoming, Slocum’s eye is caught by a pretty, pistol-packing lady. A former tomboy who rode like the wind, Belle is all growed-up—and tracking cold-blooded killers. Even if his motives are not entirely professional, Belle welcomes Slocum’s help. Neither knows what to expect. But Slocum begins to notice that his pretty companion has something hard and twisted deep inside her—something bloody and in need of watching…

Slocum's caught between two devils of the deep blue sea - buccaneers and mutineers.

A beautiful woman lures Slocum into fighting a new civil war.
