Two from the West

Sam Miller is an aging bounty hunter after the gang known as the Pintos. He tracks them to Charleston, Arizona, but finds more than just the killers; there is also the evil that nurtured them. Miller is tough, impatient, and anti-social, but now he also finds a woman with as much sand as he has, and she's caught between him and the Pintos. Set during an actual little-known historical event, this crisp, violent story races to a dramatic and unique ending. And life is rough in Deadwood, Dakota Territory for Willie Appleton, a young man of slow wit who becomes embroiled in gold-seeking ventures he can't understand. Life to him is simple and beautiful, but the violence around him is a challenge. A touching and poignant tale of lives forever changed by the innocence of the young man known as Slow Willie.
