'Todd Coulter was a good man, a family man, wanting nothing more than to make an honest living by honest toil. He abided by the laws of God and men but somebody or something up there just didn't like him - In the end, he lost his family, his home and everything he'd worked for. But then Hollis Clarke turned up from his past and showed him the error of his law-abiding ways. Hollis offers Todd a surefire way of making money. It's not honest or legal but Todd no longer cares. He knows that a man with money can stand on his own two feet. He can do what he wanted and go wherever he pleases. He can be free - But both men knew that the day of reckoning always comes - and when it does, it's paytime.'

1 y separately published work icon Fightback Joseph John McGraw , London : Black Horse Westerns , 2010 Z1934675 2010 single work novel western 'It’s time to fight back…

'While heading to the nearby town of Laureston, Tom Harker is unexpectedly ambushed by an unknown sniper.

'Harker has made some enemies over the years but he doesn’t recognise the young man taking kill shots at him.

'Lucky for him, the shooter accidently slips and kills himself on the valley below.

'Taking the body to Laureston, it turns out the young man was Zeke Viall – the youngest son of Walter Viall, the local cattle baron who owns half the town.

'Everyone knows he acquired the land through questionable means but with no proof and with Judge Morton on his payroll, Sheriff Silas Rukatch can’t touch him.

'And as news travels fast about Zeke, Harker finds himself face to face with the man himself – as well as his two living sons, Rube and Mikey.

'But Harker didn’t come to town to start trouble with the Vialls – he heard his old army buddy, Billy Boden and his wife settled out near Laureston.

'As it turns out, Billy is the last ranch left from the original settlers. Walter Viall has done everything he can to ruin Billy’s business and ranch.

'And when Viall’s men try and beat him into signing his property over, Harker is there to save him.

'What’s more, seeing his friend almost beaten to a pulp, Harker is more than ready to fight back against Walter Viall and his men.

'If he can dwindle Viall’s men and gain favour from the townfolk, then they might stand a chance against Viall.

'But then, Tabitha, Billy’s sister and owner of Laureston’s only hotel warns Harker off, telling him to leave town.

'She says she’s got everything in balance – a deal of sorts with Viall – but Harker’s not so sure.

'And besides, he’s planning on staying and ridding the town of Walter Viall once and for all…

'A thrilling tale, Fightback is gun-toting, action-packed Western that will transport you back to the old west.' (Publication summary)
