Slocum And The Widow Maker

When a landowner gets greedy, Slocum marks his territory—with bullets. Landowner Seth Draper bullied his way through town, buying up smaller ranches and adding the acreage to his own. But when rancher Ian MacTavish refuses to sell, Draper plays dirty. He isn’t above holding Ian’s wife prisoner to force the deal. And just when it looks like the ruthless rancher has the upper hand, Ian’s daughter comes up with a very serious weapon. His name is Slocum…

Out to buy up all the area ranches, ruthless land baron Seth Draper will do anything to get the locals to sell, including kidnapping rancher Ian MacTavish's wife, until Slocum arrives to teach the greedy man a lesson in justice.

Slocum gets caught up in a big-time heist in a small-time town… John Slocum and his pard have finally steered two thousand head of cattle from Abilene, Texas, to their Kansas home. After six weeks on the trail, both men are itchin’ for some company of the female kind. Abigail Stanley fits the bill any which way you look at her—and, in addition to her comely figure and come-hither glances, she has a head for business. Slocum’s all too willing to learn some of the tricks of her trade—but getting involved with Miss Stanley means getting wrapped up in something much less pleasant than her lovin’ arms. She has it in her noggin that a big-time railway to her hometown of No Consequence, Nebraska, would translate into untold fortune for the so far unfortunate village. So, anxious to set things a-rolling, the townspeople willingly dish out their money for this joint venture with a Mr. Rafe Ferguson. Everything seems right as rain—until Slocum learns more than he should about the supposed benefactor of what is merely an imaginary Platte & Central Plains Railroad…

Slocum’s greedy—for vengeance… Everyone in the lawless town of Almost There has it. And Slocum ain’t above profiting from it. Guiding four greenhorn prospectors up Desolation Mountain should be easy money, but an ambush takes the life of three of them—and the other one, Clement Baranksy, has gone missing…. Slocum ain’t the kind of man to take money for nothing. He’s got to find Baranksy to set things right—especially after his son and luscious, headstrong daughter beg him for help. Turns out a man is running a scavenger trade, preying on miners. But gold is no match for Slocum’s lethal lead.
