Noose

Don't Stand So Close

Stopping Power

There's a killer on the road... He's a big rig truck driver who goes by the CB handle White Knuckle, and he's Jack the Ripper on eighteen wheels. For thirty years he has murdered hundreds of women in unimaginable ways, imprisoning them in a secret compartment in his truck, abducting them in one state and dumping their dead bodies across the country. Dedicated FBI agent Sharon Ormsby is on a mission to hunt down and stop White Knuckle. She goes undercover as a truck driver with a helpful long hauler named Rudy in a cross-country pursuit that will ultimately bring her face-to-face with White Knuckle in a pedal-to-the-metal, high-octane climax on a highway to Hell.

White Knuckle

Joe Noose is back--in the blistering Western series from Eric Red, the acclaimed author of The Guns of Sante Sangre and The Wolves of El Diablo. THE DEVIL IS A WOMAN In all his days as a bounty hunter, Joe Noose never met an outlaw like Bonny Kate Valance. The notorious female gunslinger has the kind of beauty that drives men wild--and a criminal record longer than the Snake River. She also has a date with the gallows. But before anyone can put a rope around that pretty neck, Joe Noose has to bring her in alive. On the way, he'll have to protect his prisoner from a vile ex-lover and a vengeance-seeking posse. Which puts Noose's neck on the line, too. Especially when this female of the species is deadlier than the male. . . .

They’re afraid that someone on this drive—one of their own team—is a serial killer. Five wranglers are already dead. Every man is a suspect.

The Crimson Trail

She was every student s fantasy and he was the teacher s pet. She was older, beautiful and experienced. It was the brush of her hand passing back homework. That special glance. He spent hours in class imagining what her body looked like under her dress, until the day came when they had their first kiss. But his wildest dreams soon became his worst nightmare. She took him to forbidden places he wasn t ready for, but when he wanted to stop she wouldn t let him. If she couldn t have him, nobody could, and lives would be lost before it was over. He never should have crossed the line with his teacher, because some lines should never, ever be crossed."
