Bitter Creek - 2nd Edition
Summary
Jim Sutter, a diminutive, sad-eyed drifter with a hidden past, rides into the South Dakota cowtown of Bitter Creek in a time of savage drought. Set upon and beaten by toughs, he is rescued by widowed rancher Jenny Olds, whom he soon comes to love. Jim decides to stay on with Jenny and soon finds himself in the middle of a blood feud between the powerful cattlemen's association and the sodbusters, led by fiery Lucas Brand. Hugh Tallant spearheads the fight for the ranchers, seeking to crush the sodbusters who control the vital Bitter Creek River. Tallant is ably aided by Gil Fetterman, a notorious gunfighter, and Milo Pitt, a sadistic bruiser. And before long, Sutter is torn between his desire to protect Jenny and the sodbusters and his own solemn oath to give up the gun. Into this brew rides a cast of lively characters including courageous Nell Vermillion, a local shopkeeper, George Armstead, a man uncertain of his own mettle, Red West, Jenny's dying foreman, Dottie Lister, a soiled dove, Randy Pinto, a boy who has to grow up in a hurry, and gunfighter Jack Counts, who makes a bargain with the devil.

The Dunnigans
Summary
Patrick Dunnigan, a successful gentleman gambler running a regular table game in a grand hotel in Kansas City, receives a disturbing letter from his uncle, Ethan Brooke. Seems the old man is spooked about developments in the little town of Sundown, New Mexico. Two local business men in town, Race Keene and Emmett Culpepper, are after the timber on Ethan’s property and his neighbors’ land. According to Ethan, the men have hired a group of gunslingers and thugs to pressure the farmer’s to give up their land. The tough old man is afraid for the first time in his life. Patrick and his brother Shannon, a retired lawman and former gunslinger now married and expecting a baby with his wife Judith, are Ethan’s only relatives. When Patrick arrives in Sundown, he senses that the trouble there would be better served with Shannon’s skills than his own, but the gambler is reluctant to ask his brother to take up the gun again just when he has changed his life for the good. So Patrick sets out for Ethan’s farm and a ugly discovery that will put Patrick Dunnigan squarely in the middle of a ruthless and bloody turf war that could cost him his life.
