Duel at Low Hawk — Charles G. West

An unrepentent outlaw meets a relentless lawman in this western from Charle G. West...

Upon release, he added murder and kidnapping to his criminal skills -- slaughtering his own parents before exacting revenge against the man responsible for his incarceration -- and abducting his “sister,” a young Creek girl his folks had adopted.
 
U.S. Deputy Marshal John Ward is one of the West's best manhunters. He's the only one who stands a chance of stopping Stoner's bloody rampage -- and of bringing the girl back alive....
