It's the scorching summer of 1884. John Starr is the nemesis of outlaws, a one-man judge and jury with gun, driven by fury and an unquenchable need for vengeance. He rides the lawless Montana territory with his nephew Tod, who understands Starr, even if he doesn't condone his Uncle's brutal methods and wild justice. Now they're going up against a vicious gang of horse thieves and protecting a widow rancher who might just thaw Starr's ice cold heart. "McCaig depicts these grim men, their women and the violent life they lived with sympathy and interest and a real feel for place and period. A job done with care, crammed with excitement, and superbly written." The New York Times "Two men ride the vengeance trail, bringing with them violent and ruthless justice...that comes to a blazing finish." St. Louis Post-Dispatch"There is no lack of action in this western." Springfield Leader Press

A fortune in gold is underwater -- one man is determined to get it and another is hell-bent to keep it there.Engineer Mike Kendall is hired by a mining company to tunnel into a mountain in Montana to drain a flooded gold mine. But it's an extremely risky job, made even more dangerous by powerful individuals who will do anything stop him for their own, sinister reasons.Mike Kendall is a big man...but in mining circles his brother Morley was a bigger man. It was something like jealousy that drove Mike to Blue Grouse to drain the rich and dangerous Castle Lode. It was a big job-too big for a man if he was afraid or if he made one mistake. Underground water, gas, cave-ins, the unknown quantity at the heart of the mountain-good enough reasons to be afraid of Castle Mountain. But there was another reason. Phil van Zandt, the millionaire owner of the Queen o' Hearts had his own ideas about the job-a job he didn't want finished-and his ideas were "accidents" and avalanches."A different sort of western, a good adventure yarn."
