Devil's Wind
Matt Kendal believed vengeance belonged to the Lord--even after four savage bandits swept through the tiny village of San Pablo, leaving nothing but a smoking corpse-strewn ruin. Before escaping into the parched desert of the Arizona Territory, the killers flung three young women over the backs of stolen horses, and the girls could still be alive. Their fathers and brothers had been massacred. Only Matt could attempt a rescue. With his repeating rifle over his shoulder and an aching heart he sets out to right the wrongs done. He meets an unexpected ally in a lone Apache warrior. Together they ride into perdition to proclaim a man's justice with a storm of blazing lead.

About the author
Douglas Hirt
56 books25 followersDouglas Hirt was born in Illinois, but heeding Horace Greeley's admonition to "Go west, young man", he headed to New Mexico at eighteen. Doug earned a Bachelor's degree from the College of Santa Fe and a Masters of Science degree from Eastern New Mexico University. During this time he spent several summers living in a tent in the desert near Carlsbad, New Mexico, conducting biological baseline surveys for the Department of Energy.
Doug drew heavily from this "desert life" when writing his first novel, DEVIL'S WIND. In 1991 Doug's novel, A PASSAGE OF SEASONS, won the Colorado Authors' League Top Hand Award. His 1998 book, BRANDISH, and 1999 DEADWOOD, were finalists for the SPUR award given by the Western Writers of America.
A short story writer, and the author of twenty-nine novels and one book of non fiction, Doug now makes his home in Colorado Springs with his wife Kathy and their two children, Rebecca and Derick. When not writing or traveling to research his novels, Doug enjoys collecting and restoring old English sports cars.
Douglas Hirt is a "fabricator of armchair adventures" who also writes as Jason Elder and Doug Hawkins.
