  One of the top twenty-five westerns of all time: an action-packed tale about a range war in a violent town—and the honest foreman who risks his life to keep the peace. 
   
   
   
  Phil Evarts is dead, and the Hatchet Range is up for grabs. That's 70,000 acres of prime turf just waiting for the man rich enough to buy it . . . or the gunman crazy enough to kill for it. Every schemer in town has his eyes on Hatchet, and Bide Mariner leads the charge. An unscrupulous rancher who'll stop at nothing for cash, Mariner has the money and the guns to take whatever he wants. Only Will Ballard stands in his way—and that means Ballard is marked for death. 
   
   
    
  The foreman at Hatchet Range, Ballard is an honest man who'll do anything to keep the ranch from falling into Mariner's hands. In a town so rotten with greed that even the sheriff is against him, Ballard must stand alone to save this little piece of the American West. 
   
   
    
  Voted one of the top twenty-five westerns of all time by the Western Writers of America and made into a 1952 Republic film starring Rod Cameron, Ride the Man Down showcases award-winning author Luke Short at the height of his writing powers.

  The Musgrave Ritual - Sherlock...

  "The Musgrave Ritual" is a short story by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, featuring his fictional detective Sherlock Holmes. The story was originally published in Strand Magazine in 1919, and was collected later in The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes. Unlike the majority of Holmes stories, the main narrator is not Doctor Watson, but Sherlock Holmes himself. With Watson providing an introduction, the story within a story is a classic example of a frame tale. It is one of the earliest recorded cases investigated by Holmes, and establishes his problem solving skills.
  In the story, Holmes recounts to Watson the events arising after a visit from a university acquaintance, Reginald Musgrave. Musgrave visits Holmes after the disappearance of two of his domestic staff, Rachel Howells, a maid, and Richard Brunton, the longtime butler. The pair vanished after Musgrave had dismissed Brunton for secretly reading a family document, the Musgrave Ritual. The Ritual, which dates from the 17th century, is a riddle set in question/response form.

  What’s scarier for Rust Belt PI Niccolo Fitzhugh? A dead body in the trunk of burning car or waking up in bed with prosecutor Alicia Linnerman after a blistering drunk?  
  Fitz’s life has been turned upside down since the death of his beloved wife Gracie. Outside of work, he’s holed up at home alone, drowning in his grief. But sex with Alicia has him thinking she believes there might be something more than being friends with benefits—something Fitz needs to shut down and fast. 
  When a stripper from one of Fawcettville’s topless joints turns down witness protection for testifying against a murderer, then comes up missing, it’s an easy conclusion the body in the trunk is hers.  
  Or is it? 
  Fracking has come to Fawcettville, and with it a boom-town rise in crime. One man’s search for his daughter may look like the act of a caring father, but Fitz has his doubts about the case—and where his relationship with Alicia could go.
