Diamondback
by Pike Bishop
The first in the thrilling DIAMONDBACK series
Diamondback. His real name is seen only on wanted posters, spoken only by bounty hunters. But as Cord Diamondback he’s blazed new fame as a judge-for-hire — with the fists, guns, and brains to make his decisions stick.
He took the job in Dog Trail for the money — and the woman. But Diamondback has been double crossed - and the sentence for that is death...
