The Teacher

Stefano Carloni

Sinossi

Germany, Autumn 1945. Fausto Tancredi, a young teacher in history of philosophy, an Italian-American of Jewish descent, is chosen by the State Department to re-educate a group of young Germans imprisoned in a castle in the Black Forest. He will have to face the contempt of the guys, the distrust of a rude US Army major, and the more insidious enemy: the difficulty in reconciling the duty to remember with the need for a forgiveness that opens the doors of the future to a whole people.

Last Stage to El Paso

William W. Johnstone, J. A....

Riding shotgun, Red Ryan leads a doomed stagecoach of the damned on the longest, deadliest journey of his life . . .  
 
 
 
FIVE PASSENGERS. 400 MILES. 1,000 WAYS TO DIE. 
 
 
 
According to local legend, the stagecoach known as the Gray Ghost is either haunted, cursed, or just plain unlucky. Each of its last three drivers and three more riding shotgun came to a violent, bloody end. And now it's Red Ryan's turn to guard five foolhardy passengers on the stage's next—and possibly last—trip. The travelers are a small troupe of performers with dark histories of their own: a song-and-dance man with a drinking problem, a juggler with a secret, a knife thrower with a past, and a beautiful fan dancer who's on the run from a one-eyed, vengeance-seeking outlaw . . .  
 
 
  
Red's not the superstitious type. But with Apaches on the warpath with bloodlust—and a one-eyed cutthroat killer on his trail—this 400 mile journey is like something straight out of his worst nightmare. And all the roads lead straight to hell . . .

Saints and Sinners

Peter Brandvold

Town Marshal "Bloody" Joe Mannion is back in this third high-action volume in Peter Brandvold's explosive western series! 
 
 
 
When Jeremiah Claggett, constable of the nearby ghost town of Fury, is murdered by Frank Lord, the kill-crazy leader of a dozen wild outlaws, Bloody Joe has to come to grips with the fact that he's inadvertently to blame. Mannion had turned Frank's brother, Billy, over to Claggett for safekeeping, setting off the chain of events that end his friend's life. Mannion is the kill-crazy one now. Not realizing he's being shadowed by Clagget's beautiful, half-wild granddaughter, Justy, and an inscrutable saddle tramp, Mannion sets out on his vengeance quest. 
 
 
 
In typical Bloody Joe style, he storms Lord's gang single-handedly, which nearly proves to be his undoing—until he's set upon by a mystery 'Man of the Lord' and given . . . something. Whether that something is good or bad Mannion has difficulty discerning. 
 
 
 
Saints and Sinners is a crazy, dark, storm-ridden ride through the hell of the San Juan Mountains of southwestern Colorado. Whoever manages to ride out alive—saint or sinner, or maybe a combination—will be changed forever, baptized in gun smoke and blood.
