Hart the Regulator 4: The Silver Lie

by John B. Harvey

Overview

The Regulator is Wes Hart – ex-soldier, ex-Texas Ranger, ex-rider with Billy the Kid. He’s tough, ruthless, slick with a .45. He’s for hire now and he isn’t cheap…
Little Alice was cute. And brave. On her father’s instructions – and for the right price – Hart agreed to escort her to Denver. Seemed like easy money … until Hart discovered silver bullion stashed away in the stagecoach …
Lee Sternberg’s gang found out too. So they figured on blowing Hart’s head clean off and making a quick exit with the loot. Hart thought different. So after the blood of an ambush, it’s the agony of a kidnapping and the brutality of a pulse-pounding showdown in a Rancho Nuevo whorehouse …
And all this for a little girl …
