New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Sophie Jordan
continues her high-concept, edgy Devil's Rock series From the wrong
side of the tracks and with most of her family in jail or dead,
Piper Walsh is used to everyone in town thinking the worst about
her. It doesn't seem to matter that she's worked hard to build a
good life for herself. So she isn't surprised that when she comes
into contact with Sweet Hill's wildly irresistible, arrogant
sheriff, Hale Walters, they're instant adversaries. Piper has
nothing in common with the town golden-boy-turned lawman-and she
refuses to be a notch on his bedpost. Despite rumors, Hale avoids
fooling around with the women of Sweet Hill, many of whom are
hoping to get him to the altar. But staying out of Piper's path is
proving near impossible. The infuriating troublemaker clearly has
no respect for his badge. As she continues to push his buttons, it
becomes clear to Hale that he must either arrest Piper-or claim her
as his own.
In the twelfth Longmire novel, Walt, Henry, and Vic discover much
more than they bargained for when they are called in to investigate
a hit-and-run accident involving a young motorcyclist near Devils
Tower-from the New York Times bestselling author of Land of Wolves
In the midst of the largest motorcycle rally in the world, a young
biker is run off the road and ends up in critical condition. When
Sheriff Walt Longmire and his good friend Henry Standing Bear are
called to Hulett, Wyoming-the nearest town to America's first
national monument, Devils Tower-to investigate, things start
getting complicated. As competing biker gangs; the Bureau of
Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms; a military-grade vehicle donated to
the tiny local police force by a wealthy entrepreneur; and Lola,
the real-life femme fatale and namesake for Henry's '59 Thunderbird
(and, by extension, Walt's granddaughter) come into play, it
rapidly becomes clear that there is more to get to the bottom of at
this year's Sturgis Motorcycle Rally than a bike accident. After
all, in the words of Arthur Conan Doyle, whose Adventures of
Sherlock Holmes the Bear won't stop quoting, "There is nothing more
deceptive than an obvious fact."
He came out of Malpais, the terrible volcanic badlands where nothing can live, riding a giant red stallion no other man could put a hand to. His boots were polished, his speech was gentle, but his guns were quick and smooth as silk. He shot first and talked later.
Lance Gordon's running out of room and time. Back in the Sierras he
killed the man who murdered his father. Unfortunately that man
turned out to be a Deputy Marshal, and now Lance has a price on his
head. Like Alan Ladd as Shane, Lance wants only to live in peace,
but he'll have to go through hell to get there.
Running from the law and the cavalry, Lance heads for the one place
no sheriff or soldier will go--into the territory ruled by The
Baron of Coyote River. The Baron is the king of the cattle
rustlers--as feared and hated as he is powerful. No one dares take
him on . . . until now.
Lance is sick of running, and taking on the Baron is his last
chance for a second chance. Before the battle is over, Coyote River
will run red with blood, as Lance has vowed to redeem himself . . .
or die trying.
Hubbard often reminisced about his rough and tumble childhood in
Montana. "At the age of three-and-a-half I could ride quite well. .
. . They never let me ride any blooded stock; they always insisted
that I only ride range broncs and mustangs. It did not matter how
often I was thrown when a mustang exploded under me, it was I who
was always scolded and cautioned not to be mean to the horses."
Memories such as this remind us that Hubbard himself inhabited the
world of The Baron of Coyote River.
Also includes the Western adventure, Reign of the Gila Monster, in
which a stranger rides into the roughest, toughest town in the
West--and sets out to show the town who's boss.
""Take a hard ride into a lawless corner of the Arizona territory,
as the audio version of The Baron of Coyote River brings a stampede
of action to life.
"It delivers plenty of action." "--AudioBook News Service"

* An International Book Awards Finalist
A veteran trail driver, who has survived thundering stampedes and Comanche raids, discovers there's nothing so dangerous as courting a beautiful woman.... A brutally beaten homesteader crawls off to die--only to stumble upon an ancient talisman that restores his will to live....
This treasure trove of newly discovered stories captures the grit, grandeur, and glory of the men and women who wielded pistol and plow, Bible and branding iron to tame a wild country. A mysterious preacher rides into town to deliver a warning that leads to a surprising revelation.... And in the full-length novella Rustler Roundup, the hardworking citizens of a law-abiding town are pushed to the edge as rumors of rustlers in their midst threaten to turn neighbor against neighbor.
Each of these unforgettable tales bears the master's touch--comic twists, stark realism, crackling suspense--all the elements that have made Louis L'Amour an American legend.
