A boy's search for justice leads Slocum on a trail of revenge.

Slocum’s gunning for revenge after an Austin ambush… Slocum rides into Austin looking for a good bottle of whiskey and an even better woman. He gets both—and a passel of problems to boot. It seems a trio of lowlife gunslingers are terrorizing the town, and the sheriff is powerless to stop them. Slocum’s never been one to look for trouble, but it comes a’knockin’ after he shoots one of the owlhoots, and takes up with the lady of another. Before he knows it, he’s on the business end of a cowardly beating. But no man sucker punches John Slocum—or tells him where to hang his hat. And if the citizens of Austin think those three are tough, they ain’t seen nothing yet…

Slocum gets caught up in a big-time heist in a small-time town… John Slocum and his pard have finally steered two thousand head of cattle from Abilene, Texas, to their Kansas home. After six weeks on the trail, both men are itchin’ for some company of the female kind. Abigail Stanley fits the bill any which way you look at her—and, in addition to her comely figure and come-hither glances, she has a head for business. Slocum’s all too willing to learn some of the tricks of her trade—but getting involved with Miss Stanley means getting wrapped up in something much less pleasant than her lovin’ arms. She has it in her noggin that a big-time railway to her hometown of No Consequence, Nebraska, would translate into untold fortune for the so far unfortunate village. So, anxious to set things a-rolling, the townspeople willingly dish out their money for this joint venture with a Mr. Rafe Ferguson. Everything seems right as rain—until Slocum learns more than he should about the supposed benefactor of what is merely an imaginary Platte & Central Plains Railroad…

Longarm’s caught between a rock and a hard place! U.S. Deputy Marshal Custis Long is dispatched to the Pass of the North—the American-Mexican border-city of northern El Paso and southern Del Norte—to extradite a prisoner from Mexico. The Federalés however, are being none too cooperative, leaving Longarm to bide his time on the American side of the city until his charge is released. Unfortunately, he learns he’s made some enemies when some polecats use him for target practice. To find out who wants him dead and why, Longarm’s got to ask questions on both sides of the border—and both sides of the law…

When Slocum teams up with an old friend, they add a few more skulls to the valley! Slocum just got into Denver, but his long-awaited night on the town took a sharp and unexpected turn when he ran into his old friend Lemuel Parsons. And when Lem and the distraught young woman by his side told Slocum about the violent kidnapping of her father and brother, he knew what he’d be doing in Denver— looking for the bastards who did it. Now Slocum’s teamed up with Lem in a hunt for the kidnappers who have been pulling the same scheme all over town— muscling everyone off their land. And when their search leads them to the perpetrators, Slocum and Lem find themselves mixed up in a situation even stickier than they could have imagined…
