Books by Charles G. West

On the run for a murder he didn t commit, Matt Slaughter is lying low in the badlands with a new life and a new woman. But old troubles are right behind him: her name is P.D. Wildmoon, a hard-drinking bounty huntress armed with a .44, a rawhide horsewhip, and three wild-eyed sons bred to kill. The job? Bring the fugitive back to Virginia - dead or alive. Making matters worse is a Sioux war that s trapped Slaughter between the vengeance of a hostile tribe and the blind greed of a gun-crazy mother who s blocking his only way out. But for Slaughter, there s even more at stake. By his side is Molly, the vulnerable love of his life. And she s just the pretty little tool Wildmoon and her killer brood need for hitting Slaughter straight through the heart.

A soldier gets swept up in the gold rush in this western from Charles G. West....Tanner Bland leaves his Virginia home on foot to fight for Dixie and rides back on a fine horse. Most folks would call that a profit-until they consider his loss. With everyone thinking the soldier dead, his younger brother marries Tanner's fiancée hours before he returns. His home no longer his own, Tanner heads west to join an old army pal and hit the gold mines of Montana. But the wagon train the men join is not what they are hoping for. In the train with them are the four Leach brothers, each one meaner than the next. Now, if Tanner and his buddy want to make it to Montana alive, they'll have to keep their enemies close…and their weapons closer. "The West as it really was-savage, heroic, and unforgettable."-Ralph Compton

From Spur Award-winning author Charles G. West comes a blistering tale of the American West, where guns are the law, good men are outnumbered--and sudden death is a way of life...Raised among the Blackfoot, John Hawk is a valuable asset to the US Army. As a military scout at Fort Ellis, he is able to cross the line between two worlds--and help keep the peace. But when he disobeys a direct order from his commander, Hawk is immediately dismissed from his post. That was the army''s first mistake. The second was losing track of a small mule train En-Route to Helena. At the request of his former lieutenant, Hawk leaves his cabin on the Boulder River to help find the missing party. The mule train, it appears, was ambushed by a savage gang of outlaws. Most of the travelers were murdered. Only a few survived to tell the tale. And now it''s up to Hawk to stalk the killers across the lawless Montana territory--alone. No backup. No Calvary. No mercy...
