Two of Matt Braun's most beloved novels—now newly repackaged as a 2-in-1! In Shadow Killers, The Reverend Titus Jacoby has come to Cimarron on a mission: to put himself up as bait for a shadowy coalition of corrupt landowners known as the Santa Fe Ring. But for those who intend to keep their stranglehold on New Mexico, going after the good Reverend will be a big mistake-because the fiery-talking man of God is really Cole Braddock, the West's most notorious manhunter operating in disguise. And with a little help from a lady, Braddock won't leave Cimarron until he forces the conspirators out into the open-and brings them down... In Deathwalk, Ben Thompson carved out a name for himself as a gambler and a shootist-from Dodge City to the Rio Grande. But settling down in Austin with a wife and young son didn't settle Ben's taste for the sporting life. He still found himself in the gambling dives-where the turn of a card too often led to a shootout. Soon a circle of powerful businessmen decides that Thompson is the only man who can tame Austin's wild side. They ask him to rule the streets-and take no prisoners. They want him to take on the job of a marshal in a town in which every man packs a gun. Thompson's career as a lawman is about to take an explosive turn. He finds himself at a crossroads: Is his personal code of honor the price for a tin-star badge? It's a risk he's willing to take...even if there's no going back.

The Civil War ended months ago, but in Lost Springs, Missouri, the fighting rages on. The town is run by Austin Urbank, an embittered Northern veteran who lost a leg--and his soul--in battle. Under Austin s guidance, the Southerners of Lost Springs are being systematically murdered or run out of town. Although many citizens, even Northerners, oppose Urbank's reign of terror, they are afraid to act. The one man who dares to defy him is Vin Tanner, the blacksmith. Vin is not rich or powerful; in fact, he's usually one to avoid a fight.

She spurns his advances; after all, Yankees killed two of her brothers. Vin is sure she'd feel different if she knew he was the man in black. But revealing his identity could mean death for them both "
