Bloody Newton
by Johnny D. BoggsWINNER OF THE 2025 SPUR AWARD FOR BEST HISTORICAL WESTERN NOVELInspired by the shocking true story of the Gunfight at Hide Park, this blazing standalone novel by one of today's most popular and respected Western writers, Johnny D. Boggs, takes readers back to that fateful summer in 1871—when Newton, Kansas, became &“the wickedest town in the west&” . . . A decade before the legendary Gunfight at OK Corral, there was a much bloodier showdown with a much bigger body count—and Wichita Herald reporter Cindy Bagwell was there to see it all. At first, the fledgling journalist had no idea why her boss would send her to what hardly even passes for a town. But Texans, including trail boss Gary Hardee and his sons, are bringing longhorns to Kansas. And Newton aims to take over the cattle market. Hardee has his hands full—and that&’s before he reaches Newton, where Texans and Kansans don&’t get along. Tensions escalate from fisticuffs to brawling to fatal shootings in short order. But that&’s just a warm-up. On August 19, 1871, in a gambling room at Tuttle&’s dance hall in Hide Park, this powder keg of bad blood and bitterness between two rival groups explodes—with one young reporter, a restaurant owner, and Hardee&’s sons caught in the middle . . . This is the story of the deadliest gunfight in the American West. Of the passionate men and women who fought for a piece of the American Dream. And of the ultimate price they&’d have to pay . . . &“Boggs is unparalleled in evoking the gritty reality of the Old West.&” —The Shootist &“Johnny D. Boggs tells a crisply powerful story that rings true more than two centuries after the bloody business was done.&” —The Charleston (S.C.) Post and Courier on The Despoilers

The provinces have suffered two rebellions, and the unresolved grievances of the local population still linger beneath the fragile calm.

Bloody Scotland: New Fiction From Scotland's Best Crime Writers
by James CrawfordTwelve of Scotland’s most famous crime authors evoke the sinister side of the country’s architecture in stories that are by turns calculating, chilling, and redemptive. Scotland has often been depicted as a land of haunting, misty moors and literary genius. But Scotland has also been a place of brutal crime, terrifying murder, child abuse, and bank robbery. Crime can strike anywhere. From the southern border to the Northern Isles, suspicion and suspense are never far away. Edinburgh, with its reputation for civility and elegance, has often been the scene of savagery; the dark streets of industrial Glasgow and Dundee have protected thieves and muggers, while the villages of coast and countryside hide murderous men and wild women. Stellar contributors to Bloody Scotland include Val McDermid, Christopher Brookmyre, Denise Mina, Peter May, Ann Cleeves, Louise Welsh, Lin Anderson, Doug Johnstone, Craig Robertson, E. S. Thomson, Sara Sheridan and Stuart MacBride explore the thrilling potential of Scotland’s iconic sites and structures. From murder in a Hebridean blackhouse and a macabre tale of revenge among the furious clamour of an eighteenth century mill, to a dark psychological thriller set within the tourist throng of Edinburgh Castle and an ‘urbex’ rivalry turning fatal in the concrete galleries of an abandoned modernist ruin, this collection uncovers the intimate—and deadly—connections between people and places. Prepare for a dangerous journey into the dark shadows of our nation’s architecture—where passion, fury, desire, and death collide.
