Ambush at Dry Bone Gulch by Sid Davis Pdf

The harsh winter stock kill-off of 1878-79 forces many ranchers to lay off cowhands. Walsh Patrick is one of them and drifts south from Montana looking for work. He hears the Circle C ranch may be hiring in Henry Valley and takes a shortcut through Dry Bone Gulch. Walsh's horse is shot out from under him while riding through the gulch. In a scuffle that follows, Walsh kills his unknown assailant who had mistaken him for someone else. He takes the body to the nearest town, Henryville only to find out he had killed the biggest rancher in the area, Randal Crawley who owns the Circle C. Why did Crawley ambush Walsh? Who was the intended victim? And what happens when the rancher's vengeful widow doesn't believe Walsh's story and unleashes her ranch hands and hires gunmen to track down Walsh?

Superior Position by Evan McNamara Pdf

Former Army sniper Bill Tatum likes his new job. As Deputy Sheriff of Mineral County, Colorado, he gets to ride a horse and wear a cool hat, but he never expected to find a dead woman in the hills behind his cabin. Tatum never expected to find himself on the wrong side of the crosshairs, either. The woman with the bullet hole in her temple was a reporter from the Rocky Mountain News, and her journal reveals secret affairs, political corruption, and a pending environmental disaster. But Tatum has little time to ponder motive, because the bullets are flying. No one is safe from the deadly accurate vengeance of a well-placed rifle bullet. As Tatum muddles through the deception and lies in his once-innocent alpine village, the sniper stays one step ahead of him, killing mercilessly, then disappearing into the Colorado wilderness, eliminating carefully chosen targets with impunity. Tatum cannot overcome the sniper's meticulous planning and penchant for public assassinations. When his suspects fill up the county morgue instead of the jail, Tatum realizes he must fall back on his training as an Army sniper to regain Superior Position and stop the terror from the ridge above.
