"Framed for a murder he didn't commit, Zebadiah finds himself in a New Orleans prison cell next to Willie Dan, a cold-blooded killer, who insists they escape together. As Zeb refuses and is sent upriver to the swamps on a chain gang to build a road for the Hydras plantation, he is thrust into a conspiracy of confederates, whose efforts to build a golden circle of slave states from Texas, Louisiana and Georgia to Cuba are just beginning to take hold.

"U.S. Marshal Nelson Lane tries to evict Lucky Graber, a failed Wyoming rancher, when a dead man is found on Lucky's land, killed in a hunting accident. The victim, Gino Bonelli, took an interest in Lucky's ranch, though the land is supposedly worthless. Then Lucky disappears, and the victim's gangster brother Bruno arrives in town with his thugs. Before long, it's clear the "hunting accident" was staged, and other people around Gillette-including the owner of the bank that foreclosed on Lucky-are highly interested in this "worthless" real estate. Maybe enough to kill over. Will Lucky surface? And will Nelson discover who killed Gino and why before Bruno and his thugs avenge Gino's death in their own harsh way?"--

"In the aftermath of the "Big Killing," which culminated in the Lincoln County War, rancher Wes Bracken must rebuild life for himself and his family amid the lingering animosities from the deadly feud. The conflagration has destroyed his livelihood, strained his family, and turned both sides against him as he steered a neutral path between the warring factions. His vengeful brother-in-law vows to kill him, the economic kingpin of Lincoln County seeks revenge, and the despicable outlaw Jesse Evans, who violated Bracken's wife, intends to murder Bracken and his young family. Two promises complicate Bracken's chances for survival: a pledge not to kill his wife's brother and a commitment to help William H. Bonney earn a governor's pardon for his crimes during the turmoil. With only his Henry rifle-toting partner to depend on, Bracken must fight a corrupt legal system, a duplicitous governor, a ubiquitous political ring, and an evil Jesse Evans if he is to fulfill his dream of a peaceful life in 1880s New Mexico Territory. If Bracken keeps his promises to his wife and Billy the Kid, he risks an early grave in the same soil that holds so many dead from the Lincoln County War. If he doesn't live up to those pledges, he will dishonor the good name he hopes to build his future upon"--
