What does a man do when he walks out of prison with two dollars in his pocket and the clothes on his back? When David Carson left Yuma Territorial Prison on that hot June morning, he could see no further than the stage road and a hot meal. His past held nothing that waited for his return, and his future didn't know he existed. At the age of thirty four, David had to face the most important choice of his life. Would he stay on the right side of the law, or go back to Benson and pick up where he left off? It was the question burning in his mind as he sat by the stage road, hoping for a ride. Little did he know the answers were waiting in a hay wagon and the kindness of a man who simply offered him a ride into town. David Carson was starting over with two dollars in his pocket, but he was square with the law. What he did from here was entirely up to him.

"This is the west, sir. When the legend becomes fact, print the legend." For no man does this famous line from The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance apply more accurately than it does to Johnny Ringo. He is a man whose true story has been gravely misunderstood. He has been portrayed in movies as the heroic outlaw who was fast with a gun, and struck fear in the hearts of those who challenged his skill. To the early twentieth century writers, he was the anti-Earp gunman who led the cow-boy faction of southern Arizona. But now, using primary sources, Cold West Detective Kevin Hogge takes the reader into the world of Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday, Bat Masterson, and the Shootout at the OK Corral to consider Johnny Ringo, a man who led a tragic life, and died a mysterious death committed by a man no one ever suspected.

Maple Ridge had been quite predictable for the past year. Marshal Ernie Evans had the good fortune of watching his town relax since the gun battle in October, and considered it all to be a distant memory. That is, until Lemual White showed up in town. He'd been considered as the one who got away, and until now, it seemed he would stay away. Follow along as Lemual and his men escape a Texas hangman, only to find more trouble than they expected in the small New Mexico town.

Marshal Ernie Evans comes to Maple Ridge to collect a debt from rancher Larry Cahoon. It seems to be a quiet town, but there's trouble brewing that few had the foresight to realize. Ernie's determination to do his job puts him right in the middle of a fight that will encompass the entire town.
