Blood on the Moon and Star

Two western novels featuring Bear Haskell, U. S. Deputy Marshal, who rides for Chief Marshal Henry Dade out of Denver's First District Court. Haskell's a former Union war hero and Pinkerton agent, a big man over six and a half feet tall and as broad as a barn door. He wears a necklace of bear claws taken from the grizzly that almost had him for supper. That's the kind of man Bear is. He holds a grudge and he gives no quarter-to grizzly bears or men. In the first of these two rapid-fire westerns, Bear is given the nasty assignment of tracking down an escaped convict before the convict can kill his own lawman father. In the second book, Bear heads to the frigid climes of Dakota Territory to solve a series of unexplained murders in the little town of Sioux Camp.
