Guilty Colts
It will be a wipe-out or nothing...
Those were Quinn Benson's words when he planned the biggest hold-up of his career.
And so it proved; but not quite in the way that Benson intended.
He got the gold alright, but with it came a whole heap of trouble.
A heist of this scale will always attract unwanted attention and gold-lust, and it’s not long before Benson is unsure who he can trust.
But with a man who has a score to settle and a girl to whom love meant more than vengeance waiting in the wings, will Benson be able to pull it off after all?
Alamo Day is a remorseless, gun-sure cowboy with a grudge.
Despite being hardened by the torture of losing someone at the hand of the wicked Scayne, Alamo's cold facade is gradually broken down by the vibrant and fearless Lindy.
With hope of a new future, will Alamo be able to finally settle the score, put old grudges, and old enemies to bed and start a new life?
Or will the villainy of the badlands crush any hope of vindication and maybe even...love?
Guilty Colts is a ruthless tale of the hardships of the life of outlaws and survival in the badlands, perfect for fans of Zane Grey.
