Jake Masters

From the Author of 'War Paint' & 'Nate Grisham'Ex-Confederate Colonel Jake Masters became a bounty hunter following four years of bloody conflict, because all he knew was how to kill. After an Arizona bank robbery turns bad and people die, the robbers turn south into Mexico, thinking they've made a clean getaway. Little do they know, Jake Masters, a bounty hunter who never fails to get a man he's after, is on their trail and he's determined to bring them in...dead or alive. In the Sonoran Desert, hot on the path of the outlaws, Jake meets a beautiful but injured woman, the lone survivor of a vicious Apache massacre. She must come with him or risk crossing the scorching desert alone.The outlaws, reduced in numbers by Jake to only two men, pull off a successful gold heist in Mexico, and then run with their newly gained riches to Saint Louis. The action never slows down in this western tale of the hunter and the hunted, because Jake Masters doesn't know the meaning of the word quit.

Jake rides again in Book 2In the follow up to Jake Masters, Bounty Hunter, there's nowhere this dedicated lawman won't go to find and capture his prey. A train journey leads Jake to Omaha where the Army wants him to track down a group of Indians suspected of kidnapping the General's wife. Although the group is demanding a ransom, Jake's investigation leads him to suspect it might not be Indians that took the woman. Some Rebel holdovers are harboring a grudge well past their defeat in The War between the States and the kidnapping might be more about payback than it is about money.The classic western action and body count continues in this next chapter of the Bounty Hunter series. If you enjoy reading Jake's rough and tumble style of justice, usually at the end of a six gun, then you'll definitely enjoy Jake Masters Book 2.

Blazing western action in Book 3Jake is living a peaceful and prosperous life after his last adventure resulted in an unexpected windfall, that is until he crosses paths with a young rancher. The man is on the trail of a wily criminal, a man who ruthlessly ambushed and killed the rancher's brother. Jake can't refuse to help, not when the villain is cutting a swath of misery a mile wide through the frontier, and commands a bounty of over three thousand dollars.But this killer is a savvy outlaw, changing his name and looks at whim to elude his pursuers and his wicked past. In the guise of a professional gambler, he heads for a big city, St. Louis. With its rough crowds and dock gangs, the gambler can blend in with the city's criminal element. This time Jake is pitting his wits and skill against an outlaw the likes of which he has never chased before, and if fate and luck turn against him this may be the last manhunt he ever takes.Blood, guts and gun smoke abound in another classic western by master storyteller W.R. Benton.
