Left to Die — Peter Brandvold

“So richly detailed that you can smell the gunsmoke and taste the dust.”
--Wayne D. Dundee, author of Manhunter's Mountain

“Raw and gritty as the West itself.” -- Mark Henry, author of The Hell Riders

A favorite western series of readers world-wide, the Cuno Massey .45-Caliber series continues with:

.45-CALIBER LEFT TO DIE

Cuno Massey is just passing through central New Mexico when he's ambushed by town tamer, Lawton Briggs and three other men and one pretty but angry young woman, Stacey Ramos. Stacey is owner of the San Juan Valley Stage Line.

The group thinks Cuno Massey is working for the notorious stage robber, Jack Salmon, who killed Stacey's father. None of the men and Stacey will take no for an answer.

Instead, intending to send Salmon and his gang a clear, brutal message, they strip young Massey naked, lay him out spread-eagle and tied to ground-sunk stakes, and leave him to die.

Cuno is rescue by the beautiful ranch woman, Olivia Taffly, and her son, Hob.

Now Cuno is back on the vengeance trail that takes more than a few bloody, twisting turns until it ends in a smoky hail of flesh-tearing lead!
