Sometimes the dead don't stay buried...
Nick Graves ran wild in the years before he turned respectable and began plying the trade that his father had taught him. But when he woke to the truth that the life of a renegade would lead to nothing but an early grave, he left his lawless companions behind in the dust. Now Nick buries the dead for a living -- but his tainted past won't let him be.
A man he once rode with -- a stone killer named Red Parks -- wants Graves to pay for his desertion and his defiance. And Red's brought the old gang with him to hit Nick where he's most vulnerable: his family. When an innocent woman is caught in the crossfire, a rage that's been simmering for years is about to explode. With his maimed hand and a new kind of gun, Nick Graves is going to make sure that this time what's dead stays dead ... for good.
Synopsis
An undertaker with a past he'd rather forget, Nick Graves has finally found some measure of peace and happiness in the small town of Ocean on the edge of the desert. Others, however, are nowhere near as lucky—particularly rancher Joseph Van Meter, a good man whose whole family is mercilessly slaughtered by marauding outlaws. Now, more than anything, Van Meter wants blood vengeance . . . and he wants Nick Graves to be his killer angel.
Nick's seen a lot of death—and has dispensed a fair share himself—and he recognizes the pain that's eating Joseph alive. But just as important as seeing justice done, Nick wants to save the broken soul who rides beside him. Because when a man's got nothing to lose, he tends to get crazy—and the innocent as well as the deserving often wind up dead.
Synopsis
NO ANGELS FOR OUTLAWS finds Nick Graves, professional mourner (gravedigger/undertaker), plying his trade in a small New Mexico town. As the book opens he is actually enjoying some peace and quiet for a change. Rather than try to blend into the shadows completely, Nick has taken something of an active role in helping keep his new town a safe place to live. Although Nick is far from becoming a keeper of the peace, he is using his skills to nip trouble in the bud before it becomes something that will force him to leave his new home. However, when a group of bandits robs a local rancher and kills his family, Nick joins him in hunting down the murders. It is a dangerous quest that sends them deep into the desert––and Nick must decide how much vengeance is worth.
