Brand 10: The Killing Days

Vital documentation that would help bring a number of crooked Washington politicians and influential businessmen to book was stolen during a violent train robbery. Jason Brand was ordered to get it back – and to bring in the gang responsible. But from the minute he hit the trail, he became a target.In the killing days that follow, Brand meets violence with violence and leaves a trail of bodies in his wake. But someone's determined to stop him at any price … and as the spent shell-cases continue piling up, he slowly begins to unravel the complicated deceptions that stand in his way – even to exposing one man he mistakenly believes is on his side!In the bullet-riddled climax, Brand was going to do his job and no one was going to stop him. But it was going to be a close-run thing. And this time Brand might not walk away from it. Neil Hunter is, in fact, the prolific Lancashire-born writer Michael R. Linaker. As Neil Hunter, Mike wrote two classic western series, BODIE THE STALKER and JASON BRAND. Under the name Richard Wyler he produced four stand-alone westerns, INCIDENT AT BUTLER'S STATION, THE SAVAGE JOURNEY, BRIGHAM'S WAY and TRAVIS. The "maverick lawman" theme surfaces in the Jason Brand series, written as "Neil Hunter" and originally published in Norway by Morgan Kane publisher Bladkompaniet. Brand is a former US Marshal turned gun-for-hire, and the series contains several of Hunter's most intriguing plots, such as in Devil's Gold where -- in its original form -- a trail of Confederate gold leads Brand to Jamaica, where he locks horns with a Chinese renegade and teams up with a British secret agent!
