Hangman's Knot

Set in the violent Old West, this new series follows Clay Taggart as he hunts the cutthroats who left him for dead. Clay Taggart ran a palm over his right shoulder and wished he was able to understand the Apache. For all he knew they might be discussing how to dispose of him. The pair by the spring hadn’t stopped glaring at him from the moment he’d seen them. He suspected that if he turned his back on them at the wrong time, he’d end up with steel between his shoulders. Clay glanced at the opening and debated whether to make a run for it. Every moment spend with the Apaches was another moment he cheated death. And no man’s luck lasted forever. Grunting, he moved to the pool and splashed more water on his aching shoulders and back. The chilling stares of the nearby Apaches added to the goose flesh that broke out all over him. Be patient, Clay told himself. He’d get his chance. Sooner or later, he would escape, and if the Apaches tried to stop him, he’d sell his life dearly. ABOUT THE AUTHOR David L.
