Stillman's War: When Sheriff Ben Stillman's deputy and best friend, Leon McMannigle, shoots a young woman who was about to shoot Stillman in the back, Leon takes the outlaw girl's lifeless body back to her mountain ranch to turn her over to her family. He feels the need to explain himself, to personally account for the girl's death. His explanation falls on deaf ears. Old Watt Hollister sends his wild sons led by his eldest boy, Nash, out on the trail to exact revenge for their poor dead sister. Wounded, McMannigle is alone and on the run in the Two-Bear Mountains, hunted like a calf-killing mountain lion. Ben Stillman isn't at all happy when he gets wind of his friend's fate. In fact, when you mess with Stillman's friends or his family, it's damn well guaranteed you have all-out war on your hands. Meanwhile, back in Clantick, the pretty young waitress over at Sam Wa's Café, Evelyn Vincent, is smitten by a dangerous drifter. Once again, all hell is breaking loose in Northern MontanaBlood trail of the Horsetooth Widow: The drifting half-breed, Yakima Henry, is fleeing a warrant on his head in Colorado and longing for a stake and some long-sought peace and quiet in Old Mexico. But when he stops in the little town of Horsetooth for a drink to cut the trail dust, he ends up having to kill a saloon owner and falling for the dead man's beautiful wife. But Yakima's new round of trouble is just beginning. It turns out that the lovely Paloma already had a lover -- one who'd just robbed an Army payroll and, after being scalped and blinded in one eye by Apaches, hid the loot somewhere in the Chiricahua Mountains. And she wants Yakima to help her find it. Only, a whole lot of other people are also after that loot, including an albino cavalry lieutenant, a man who may or may not be a deputy United States marshal, a slew of banditos, and several swarms of blood-thirsty Apaches
