Kentucky showdown / by Roberts, J. R.,1951-;
"Seems like everyone in Louisville has gambling advice for Clint Adams when he rides in for the Kentucky Derby, but the one tip he needs is the name of the man who's watching him and why. Clint's pal Ben Canby thinks his stallion is going to win the race. He's betting everything he's got on the outcome. But one thing Clint's finding out fast is there are some in town who don't plan to wager on a long shot-- whether the stake is a horse or a gunsmith. Now it's Clint's job to keep the odds even, though he just might be gambling with his life" -- p. [4] of cover.

The bullet stops here / by Johnstone, William W.,author.; Johnstone, J. A.,author.;
"Someone is terrorizing the Arizona border. Burning down ranches. Butchering travellers. Blazing a trail of bloodthirsty raids and robbing the railroads blind. His name is Melichus. A ruthless outlaw with a mile-long record of cruelties and crimes, he's the most wanted man in the territory. And the massive price on his head has attracted the attention of every trigger-happy, would-be bounty hunter this side of the Rio Grande. But Luke Jensen knows something they don't -- The bigger the bounty, the deadlier the prey. Against his better judgment, Luke accepts an offer from the Great Southern Railroad to lead a posse of hired guns to stop Melichus in his tracks. Problem is, the gunmen are untrained, undisciplined, and unruly. To make matters worse, a meddlesome pair of Pinkertons are along for the ride, too. But the real trouble starts when their team gets caught in a three-sided gunfight with an Apache war party and the Mexican Army. It's fast becoming the bloodiest manhunt Luke's ever seen -- and the final showdown could be his last."--

Now the man called Shotgun rides deep into the Colorado winter to find and kill the men who murdered everything he once held dear. The hunt will lead him straight to the heart of a fiendish criminal conspiracy - and force him to confront the violent legacy of his own outlaw brother.
