"Pistolero"
Howard Hopkins
A vicious
killer stalks the dusty streets of Mascarada, New Mexico, slicing
the throats of saloon girls like some Western Day Jack the Ripper.
The Crucible Society,
an organization that claims it doesn't exist, plans to tame the Wild West,
but are their methods of doing so any better than those of the criminals
they track down?
Johnny Hickok,
a man falsely accused of murder, struggles against the demons of
his past and the specter of the Pistolero within. When the Crucible
Society offers him a pardon in exchange for bringing the knife killer
to justice, he soon finds himself plunged into a tangle of hidden
motives, danger and deception. Can he face the ghosts awaiting him
on the blood-stained trail that leads straight to the woman he left
behind and vanquish the Janus tearing apart his soul? Or will he
fall prey to an adversary as deadly as the West has ever known?
What reviewers are saying:
Mr. Hopkins weaves an
intricate western mystery with a cleverness that will leave your
mouth hanging open in surprise at the end, even as you're thinking,
I shoulda seen that coming.
- Margaret Marr
