Devil's Due
Guns at the ready...
Devil's Due is a lawless town populated by outlaws and ruled by the savage Beau Rawlins.
The town provides a refuge for a band of vicious killers who are murdering nesters in nearby Capstone, Texas. The villainous Rawlins is using one of Capstone's respected citizens in his plan to frame a wealthy rancher for the killings and instigate a land war.
Range Detective Rance Dehner must uncover the identities of those responsible for the deadly assaults before an armed conflict between ranchers and nesters leads to a river of innocent blood being shed. But is it too late for that?
‘A thrilling western adventure and the perfect tribute to the old west’ - Tom Casey, bestselling author of Trade Off
James Clay spent his childhood watching Hopalong Cassidy on TV and devouring Fran Striker's Lone Ranger novels. Not surprisingly, he yearned to be a western hero. While toiling as a literary agent by day, James would write westerns by night. This approach allowed him to play cowboy while proving that he didn't always have to live off the work of other people. James is now a full time western writer. He lives in San Diego with his wife and two cats, all of whom, he notes, are very patient with him.
