About the Book

Book Synopsis

BANDOLERO

Hell-bent on a spree of murder and mayhem, the infamous Juan Rubio Latorro, El Bandolero, strikes terror into the hearts of the innocent and bathes the west in blood. Unstoppable, he robs and kills with impunity, leaving a trail of broken bodies and destruction in his wake. That is, until he kidnaps the daughter of a powerful rancher and gets man-hunter Wade Rannigan on his trail.

But Wade is a man saddled with a death wish. Haunted by his past, he becomes reckless and bitter and is plagued by mistakes and foolish risks--the perfect target for a master bandit like Latorro.

Can Wade overcome the odds and his own failings and still bring Latorro to justice? Or will he wind up just another victim of the deadly El Bandolero?
