Two years have passed since Dusty McCoy became a U.S. Marshal when Judge Isaac Parker summons him for a dangerous task. The Bloody Benders, a family infamous for murdering lone travelers, fled from Kansas five years previously. Now, Kate Bender and her half-brother John have resurfaced in a lawless region near the Texas-New Mexico border. Dusty must track them down and bring them to justice. As if that weren’t enough, he crosses paths with Bass Reeves, the first black marshal west of the Mississippi, and joins him in the hunt for a notorious outlaw, and then tangles with a vicious gang of cattle rustlers. But his biggest challenge just might be the sheriff of Coffeyville, Kansas—a woman, as tough as she is pretty, who may well shape his future.

D. M. Haggard, aka D. M. Horridge, was born in Texas, raised on cactus, dust, and a strong family. When I was very young, I would visit my uncle's farm in San Antonio and work side by side with my seven cousins baling hay, swimming in a round cow trough, and hunting rattlesnakes. I've hunted and fished all over the United States, and have worked like a trojan on my own ranch in Texas. I've written short stories and professional articles for a variety of marketing and professional magazines, but only recently started writing western adventure stories. I like learning about the real characters of western history and use them in a fictional way. I feel like I am preserving their memory and the heritage they left for us over time. I have been blessed with a wonderful wife of 55 years, two terrific children, and a million friends. I try to leave a message in every book that says to the reader, "we are all part of this world of ours and we need to work together to keep it from falling apart." My family is the most important part of my life. I have also been blessed with four fabulous grandchildren and two spouses of our children who have brought a wonderful depth to our family and extended family. One of my favorite subjects is the Texas Rangers, a group of tough, honorable, and law-abiding men and women. Only recently I have begun a series of children's books named "The Amazing Adventures of Two Boys." They represent many of the stories my father told to my brother and me as children. Always exciting, but not frightening, they give me great pleasure to write and publish on Amazon under my father's name, Don Horridge, and my name D. M. Horridge. All of the proceeds from these children's books are donated to children's ministries throughout the world. Thanks for listening.
