Summary
The Devil by His Horns
Wrangler and Spur Award-winning author Michael Zimmer brings us another page-turning American historical fiction novel. Sergeant Andrew Cade and seven troopers are hard on the trail of the Hollister Gang, determined to free a trio of women Ben Hollister and his men have taken captive after a raid on the town of Rio Largo, Texas. Crossing the Rio Grande into Mexico should have guaranteed the outlaws' safety. But they hadn't counted on the iron-tough sergeant's determination to finish his mission. Meanwhile, in Mexico, José Yanez and his Hunters have just massacred a village of Indians and are fleeing south with their plundered goods and the scalps they intend to sell for a bounty. Assuming they can outrun the Apache known as Geronimo. Now all three groups are converging on a town deep in Mexico called Villa Lobos--House of Wolves.
