Blazing West #15

Bud Fraser, a wrangler heading to Panther Notch for work, stumbles upon outlaws raiding a trapper's cabin and abducting a young woman—and when suspicious murders and kidnappings start piling up in the town, Fraser dons his black hood to become the Hooded Horseman, a masked vigilante determined to untangle the mystery before the lawbreakers can strike again. As the Horseman closes in on the truth, he discovers a conspiracy far deeper than simple rustling, with powerful men in town working to keep dangerous secrets buried—and they're willing to set a deadly trap to stop him.

Billy Overstreet was a fifteen-year-old orphan working in a Cheyenne saloon in 1890 when a brutal encounter with the town's deadliest gunman, Kern Whittaker, changes everything. After a savage beating at Whittaker's hands, Billy makes a fateful decision to confront the killer—and discovers that courage and quick reflexes can triumph where fear has kept everyone else paralyzed.

Buffalo Belle rounds on a smooth con artist who floods the town with tales of gold strikes to empty it of able-bodied men, leaving the way clear for staged robberies. When the assayer's tests seem to clear the schemer's name, Belle realizes she's been played—and sets a trap of her own to catch the thieves red-handed before they can strike again.
