The Great West Detective Agency

The Cloud Train
Gus Mullins was a topnotch railroad construction foreman until the tragic accident. Who would ever want a one- armed man for anything? Who, except General Palmer?

The Parisian Dagger
Claudette Dupree is the lovely belle of the New Orleans social scene and . . . a bargaining chip used to keep her father's shipping company solvent. When Claudette rebels, she becomes a murderer—and worse.

Good
Part black, part Creek, Good drifted away from Indian Territory to a job as deputy marshal. He prides himself on tracking skills and never letting the guilty go free. When he fails to catch the right man, what honor he had flees.

The Lovely Swindle
Always on the lookout for an easy dollar, Amanda Baldridge finds herself hunted by a bank robber she had swindled. On the run, she jumps from the frying pan into the fire. Only her quick wit and beauty can save her.
