Crow

Steep mountain climbs, Indian raids, and lonely New Mexico roads bathed in murderous heat – Crow Woodruff has seen it all.

But he’s never had an ex-boss try to shoot him dead.

Tired of being treated like a slave, Crow leaves Lawrence Bain’s freighting company and soon finds himself in charge of his own.

Now, Bain is losing his fortune. He’s desperate to regain his domination of the supply routes and all the people he abuses for to maintain a life of luxury.

With their bitter past fueling his desire to triumph over Bain, Crow refuses to put his mules back in the stall.

It’s not about making money. It’s about standing up for what’s right.

A rain of bullets begins to fall on the desert and Crow is called crazy for keeping his wagons on the road. But others call him a hero. Like Gina Dryden.

Gina hates men like Bain. She’s heard the secrets of their world of silver and gold – and she wants it all destroyed. With the help of Gina, Crow tightens his grip on the bullwhip and sends his wagons deeper into Bain’s tide of mercenaries and corruption.

Will Crow’s wagons carry him to his own grave? Or can his Colt .45 and his dreams overcome the manic thirst of the desert desperadoes?

Another classic western with respectful romance and women as strong frontier folk from author William Black.

Note: Each book in the American Post-Civil War Westerns series is a standalone story that can be read out of order.
