Joe Noose follows a trail of blood through the valley of death—in this bold Western series from Eric Red, acclaimed author of The Guns of Santa Sangre and The Wolves of El Diablo. HUNT FOR THE CATTLE DRIVE KILLER Joe Noose knows what fear looks like. He sees it in the eyes of his new friends—a dozen trail-hardened cattle men who don’t scare easily. It’s not the 500-mile trek across treacherous Montana territory that’s got them spooked. It’s not the 3,000 heads of cattle they’ve got to wrangle either. They’re afraid that someone on this drive—one of their own team—is a serial killer. Five wranglers are already dead. Every man is a suspect. And the woman rancher in charge is paying Joe Noose to root out the evil on this cursed cattle drive—by riding alongside the killer . . . Praise for Eric Red’s The Guns of Santa Sangre and The Wolves of El Diablo “Blood-soaked weird west story. . . . Red places a premium on action. Readers will enjoy.” —Publishers Weekly “Readers will rediscover an Old West genre.” —True West “In the Old West, there are bad guys and even badder guys. But Eric Red’s are the biggest baddest of all.” —Jack Ketchum, author of Off Season “Bloody fights, desert vistas [and] a touch of romance make this a fast-paced adventure.” —Library Journal

Defeat and death at the Little Bighorn gave General George Custer and his Seventh Cavalry a kind of immortality. In Custer's Last Stand, Brian W. Dippie investigates the body of legend surrounding that battle on a bloody Sunday in 1876. His survey of the event in poems, novels, paintings, movies, jokes, and other ephemera amounts to a unique reflection on the national character.
