THE LAWLESS FRONTIER,

A finalist for both the Western Writers of America Spur Award and the Ben Franklin Award.

AN UGLY PLACE TO DIE...

There's nothing pretty about Mexico. One the verge of a bloody civil war that's spiraling out of control, it's no place for hotheads or weak hearts - a place where only real men survive...if they're lucky. As an officer for the U.S. War Department, Myles Adams knows all about keeping a cool head. And he's just the man who can help his former partner-in-arms Stewart Cook rescue his soon-to-be fiancée, Alexia Garcia, from the rebel forces. But this is a country where a man would shoot you as soon as look at you...

AN EVEN UGLIER PLACE TO LIVE...

With Alexia safe in hand, the two Americans find themselves in even greater danger. On the run from Jorge Trevino, a ruthless bandito who would kill to have what Myles has - namely the gorgeous Carmen Cologan - these men are about to witness all the horrors that the Mexican frontier has to offer - war, poverty, and human suffering too agonizing to be believed. They'll have to use every drop of courage they have to survive, but in a land with no law and order, sometimes a man has to kill to stay alive...
