  They were innocent men, slaughtered in the Rockies. A party of land surveyors who met their grisly fate at the hands of the Crow Indians—or so it seems. Some folks think the story is a lie. And now it's up to US Army Lieutenant Ron Stanton to figure out what really happened up there in those desolate, blood-soaked mountains. As his guides, Preacher and Jamie McCallister agree to retrace the footsteps of the doomed party—come hell or high water—but first they'll have to pass through a particularly nasty piece of purgatory known as Fort Buzzard . . . 
   
   
   
  Fort Buzzard—officially Gullickson's Fort—earned its nefarious nickname because of the human vultures it attracts. Namely the brutes and brawlers hired by Gullickson to protect his interests. When a nearby trading post is suddenly attacked—and two young women carried off by Indians—Preacher and McCallister smell a rat. The Crows swear they're not responsible for the attack, the abduction, or the mountain party massacre. Preacher and McCallister believe them—but proving it won't be easy. This road to justice only leads to more dead ends—and the biggest, bloodiest showdown in Rocky Mountain history . . .

  *Northanger Abbey* is a delightful coming-of-age novel that playfully critiques the conventions of Gothic literature. At the heart of the story is the endearingly naïve Catherine Morland, a seventeen-year-old who hails from a modest country parsonage. During a few enchanting weeks spent in the bustling spa town of Bath, Catherine forms a captivating connection with the charming Henry Tilney, who graciously invites her to experience the grandeur of his family estate, Northanger Abbey. 
  Upon her arrival at the Abbey, an ancient mansion steeped in mystery and echoes of the past, Catherine's imagination runs wild. Captivated by her passion for Gothic thrillers, she begins to perceive an eerie atmosphere that fuels her burgeoning suspicions. Whispers of dark secrets swirl around her thoughts: What truly lies behind the untimely death of Henry’s mother? Is there a hidden malevolence lurking within the elegant, shadowy chambers of the Abbey? Can she place her trust in the enigmatic Henry, or could he himself be entangled in a sinister plot?  
  As her vivid imagination spirals, Catherine interprets mundane happenings as ominous omens, her heart racing with each twist of her thoughts. However, it is Henry’s gentle encouragement that ultimately guides her to discern the line between fiction and reality, reminding her that life, with all its unpredictability, can often be far stranger than art. 
  Filled with spirited charm and insightful commentary, *Northanger Abbey* offers a lighthearted yet astute exploration of love, marriage, and the perils of letting one's imagination run wild.

  There are stories that strike like a bullet—swift, precise, and inescapable. Mateo Falcone is one of them.
  In the sun-scorched Corsican wilderness, where honor is measured in blood and a man's word is as unyielding as the mountains, a moment of hesitation can seal one's fate. A fugitive seeking refuge, a child faced with an impossible choice, a father whose sense of justice knows no mercy—Mérimée paints a world where tradition rules with an iron grip, and betrayal, no matter how small, does not go unanswered.
  There are no heroes here, no villains—only the weight of an unwritten law, passed down through generations, and the chilling certainty of what must come next. A tale as sharp as a knife's edge, Mateo Falcone lingers in the mind long after the final page, leaving behind the echo of a single gunshot and the question: what price does honor demand?
