  A Set of Six

  Each of the stories in this collection is spun from a simple, if typically wry and bleak, idea. In "Gaspar Ruiz", a South American general who has fought in a war of independence tells his guests a long tale about a notorious strong man that explains the origin of his current domestic arrangements. "The Informer" leads the reader into the depths of a political conspiracy, dealing very slyly indeed with questions of truth and pretence. In "The Brute", we are asked whether we can believe there could be such a thing as a positively malevolent ship, while "An Anarchist" introduces us to an unfortunate man who has had a vision of society itself as malevolent and has not been able to rest in peace ever since. "The Duel", the most obviously likeable tale in this collection, recounts the history of an unfortunate feud between two officers of Napoleon's army that caused them to fight a series of duels over many years. "Il Conde" rounds out the collection, giving a new twist to the saying "See Naples and die".

  Johnstone Country. Where life is a gamble. 
   
   
   
  The national bestselling authors of violent, bullet-riddled Old West yarns return to the Texas frontier town where Sheriff Buck Jackson and Deputy Flint Moran are quickly learning that enforcing the law means being fastest on the draw—or being killed by someone quicker . . . 
   
   
   
  Welcome to Tinhorn, Texas. Now go home. 
   
   
   
  Two drifters, flush with cash and looking to buy cattle, arrive in town—one nursing a bullet wound he claims he received accidentally when his friend was cleaning his gun. Jackson and Moran are suspicious but have no reason to challenge their story—until four more drifters show up looking for the first two. Moran may not be lightning quick when it comes to numbers, but reports say the Wells Fargo office was held up by six men . . . 
   
   
   
  But Moran is going to need more bullets. He's been called upon to go after Abel Crowe and his three sons on a murder and kidnapping charge. And with Jesse Slocum breaking out of prison to wreak vengeance on Sheriff Jackson, who killed Slocum's brother, the young deputy is going to make his name one bullet at a time—or die trying . . .

  Five Hours To Freedom

  Zaragoza, March 5, 1838. Before dawn, the city sleeps. Within hours, it will burn. 
  Joaquín Espés was once a soldier. Now he is only a blacksmith-a widower, a father, a man trying to bury the ghosts of war beneath the steady rhythm of his hammer. But when Carlist forces launch a surprise attack on Zaragoza, his past returns with brutal force. His former comrade Ramón gives him an impossible ultimatum: betray the city or watch his young son die. 
  With only five hours to decide, Joaquín must choose between loyalty to his people and love for his child. 
  As cannon fire shatters the silence and the streets run red, the blacksmith forges a desperate plan-one that may save his son, doom his city, or condemn him forever. In the chaos of betrayal and resistance, Zaragoza fights back with legendary courage, and ordinary men and women become heroes. But history does not always remember the men who act in the shadows. 
  Five Hours to Freedom is a powerful historical novel inspired by the real events of the Cincomarzada of 1838. It is a story of fatherhood and sacrifice, of moral conflict and impossible choices, and of the heavy price of survival. Because sometimes freedom is not won by heroes in the light-but by those willing to break the iron in the dark.
