LAST STAGE TO HELL
What do you get when you take one stagecoach out of Denver, add a thousand-or-so bullets whizzing past your head, while sitting next to two headless corpses caught in the crossfire? If your name is Lou Prophet, you get revenge. Raucous, rowdy, ruthless revenge. Next question?
DEVIL BY THE TAIL
How do you catch a fork-tongued demon who’s busted out of prison to wreak all sorts of unholy hell on a small Texas town? If you’re Lou Prophet, you team up with red-hot Louisa Bonaventura, aka “The Vengeance Queen,” and cut a swath of merciless Prophet mayhem in return.
Due process be damned . . .

Book 2
BLOOD AT SUNDOWN
Lou Prophet and the deadly Louisa Bonaventure have torn a bloody swath across Dakota territory in search of the Griff Hatchley gang. When they finally catch up to them, an epic blizzard threatens to turn the Dakota prairie into a frozen hell. To bag their prey before the storm hits, Prophet and Louisa split up—and take separate paths towards damnation.
DEATH IN THE SNOW
Prophet’s course takes him into a town packed to the gills with the deadliest outlaws that roamed the frontier, while Louisa gets caught in Sundown, a one-horse town where a hatchet-wielding maniac threatens to paint Main Street red. When spring’s thaw comes, they’ll find a city of corpses beneath the snow.
And nobody gives a damn about the law . . .

Book 3
THE DEVIL RIDES AGAIN
After a hard night with his sometime lover Louisa Bonaventure—“the Vengeance Queen”—Lou Prophet decides to cool his heels at a local honky tonk. Things heat up fast when he defends one of the girls from a sadistic brute who also happens to be the deputy sheriff. And now Prophet is running for his life . . .
WITH A BOUNTY ON HIS HEAD
Heading south of the border to Mexico, Prophet isn’t the only man marked for death. The young red-headed pistolero Colter Farrow has made an awful lot of enemies, too—and now practically every bounter hunter south of the Rio Grande is gunning for blood. For money. For fun. And, now, for Lou Prophet . . .
“Here’s a writer with hot, fast violence and the guts to write what he wants.”

Book 11
Bring me the head of Chaz Savidge: "A new kind of bounty hunter is infesting the west. Bounty hunters who steal the quarry of other hunters. Bounty poachers is what Lou Prophet calls them, and it's men of this seedy, back-shooting variety who shadow Prophet and Louisa as they try to get the notorious killer and rapist Chaz Savidge from Dakota Territory to Denver, where they intend to turn their prisoner into the Chief U.S. Marshal and collect the bounty on his head. But maybe Prophet's and Louisa's most formidable foe isn't among the countless men hunting them, after all. Maybe their most dangerous enemy is a young, grief-stricken pioneer widow whose husband and lover lie dead on her cabin floor."--Amazon.com.
The Devil's Bride: Bounty Hunter Lou Prophet is stalking notorious train robber Frank Beauregard, a man with as much conscience as a rattlesnake with a baby rabbit in its craw. But this snake has an innocent young mail-order bride. The Devil's Fury: Getting hitched is one of the last things Lou Prophet remembers -- now he's stumbling around the desert with a gash in his head and Mexican cutthroats on his trail, wondering how deep a hole he dug for himself when he said "I do."
