Manhunter and Bloody Hand - by Matt Braun (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

The Old West comes vividly to life in two novels from Matt Braun--America's authentic voice of the Western Frontier

MANHUNTER
When Luke Starbuck takes on a wealthy banker as a client, the only thing more compelling than the paycheck is his prey. The James---Younger gang has confounded countless detectives, including the men of the Pinkerton Agency. Now it's Starbuck's chance to bring down the most notorious group of outlaws the West has ever seen--led by none other than cold-blooded killer Jesse James.

BLOODY HAND
Born a slave, Jim Beckwirth forged his own path to freedom as a mountain man. But when the owner of a wealthy trading company offers to pay him to live among the Crow Indians, Beckwirth accepts the deal--and discovers a way of life as a warrior that will change him, and the fate of a nation, forever. . .

"A master storyteller."--Elmer Kelton
