Killer's Breed

WARNING! This book is NOT for the faint-hearted reader!It wasn’t the way he was born or brought up. Something happened. Something that turned him, mind and soul, into a case-hardened man.

And survivors of both sides were left with the feeling that this was a man fighting a war of his own!

California Killing
George G. Gilman
It seemed nice. A quiet little town, just outside Los Angeles. The central building is a theater run by Rodney Holly. Right next door is the photographer, Justin Wood. A small, pleasant place to live, the kind of place people dream about. But people die there. Some silently and alone, others shot down in the uneasy streets. It’s amazing how blood can run cold in the hot California sun. Before long, there are no dreams left ... just the edge of a nightmare.

Seven Out of Hell

There were Chinese bandits and a village of innocent woman. There was a betrayal – cross and double cross – for no more than a handful of dollars. And there was death. Always death, when Edge was there. They all came together at a small town called Wounded Knee.

Like most banks, the Munro, Colorado branch of the Western States offered its customers a range of services. Like all banks, you had to pay for them.Right now the man called Edge was availing himself of one of the facilities to wire $150 on to a sporting house woman he owed up in Cheyenne. Only one thing was holding up the transaction: the other customers, who were holding up the bank.Four old-timers, they were overseeing the transfer of certain funds—the entire contents of the safe—to their saddlebags for onward transmission to their hideout in the woods.Not a service willingly offered by the bank, nor one for which these customers looked likely to pay, but when a withdrawal demand is backed up by four Colt .45s, most any bank teller will do as she is told.
