  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 Mystery of a Midsummer Night...

  George Robert Sims was born on the 2nd September 1847 in Kennington, London, the eldest of six children. 
  His initial forays into literature were humorous pieces in ‘Fun’ magazine and ‘The Referee’, but then he applied his skills and hard work to the plight of the poor and social reform.  On these subjects he wrote seriously and extensively though perhaps his ballad ‘Christmas Day in the Workhouse’ is both his best remembered contribution and a scathing introduction of his views.  
  As well as a number of novels, and a short story collection featuring the female detective Dorcas Dene, he wrote poetry and over 30 plays.  In the 1880’s he had the distinction of having 4 plays running simultaneously in London West End.  These works brought him substantial revenues though gambling in later life shrank his fortune considerably. 
  Sims also bred bulldogs, played many sports and enjoyed a large circle of literary and artistic friends. In 1907 one of the causes he championed helped bring into being the Court of Criminal Appeal.   
  George R Sims died from liver cancer on the 4th September 1922 at his home in Regents Park, London.  He was 75.

  It takes a lot for Salem locals to get excited about their town being known as "the witch city." But when a major studio arrives to shoot a witchcraft-themed movie, folks go Hollywood. For WICH-TV'S program director and chief documentary-maker, Lee Barrett, however, the project may come complete with a real-life death scene . . . 
   
   
   
  Between documenting the progress of the movie, corralling starstruck fans, and managing unmanageable traffic on Salem's narrow streets, Lee and her police detective husband, Pete Mondello, are beyond busy. Even Lee's best friend, River North, tarot card reader and practicing witch, gets in on the action, landing a job as a stand-in and body double. But it only takes one interview for Lee to realize that the male and female leads—whose roles include torrid love scenes—despise each other. Yet the problem is short-lived, literally . . . 
   
   
   
  When the lead actress is found dead on a set staged to replicate the room where suspected witches were tried in 1692—and her on-screen lover, in full costume, is discovered sound asleep in her trailer—the hunt is on for a killer on the loose. Now, even with help from River's entire coven, Lee's Aunt Ibby, and O'Ryan, a clairvoyant gentleman cat, sorting out a witch's brew of secrets, sorcery, and special effects might turn Lee's documentary into her own final act . . .
