This anthology issue features multiple Western stories. "House of Fear" follows Border Patrolman Tim Merrill as he investigates a mysterious killer lurking near a desert home where a family is in danger. "Second Chance" is a text story about Joe Winters, a recently released five-year prison inmate who steals a gold watch from an elderly man on a streetcar, only to be accused of pickpocketing and face suspicion as he attempts to build a new life. "The Crooked Trail" depicts Red Carver, a man who chose crime over honest ranching, attempting to steal cattle; his wife Margaret tries to convince him to abandon his outlaw ways and restore their struggling ranch instead.

A Border Patrol agent named John Brand arrives in San Vaca to investigate a string of brutal murders—twelve victims over eight months, all killed in one location and left in another. His investigation leads him to the Hernandez ranch, where he uncovers a ruthless scheme involving a hidden cliff city, an ancient treasure map, and enslaved workers forced to search for Inca gold. Brand must survive the treacherous hacienda and the lawless men determined to keep their deadly secret buried.

House of Fear

Border Patrolman Tim Merrill rides into a desperate situation when he stops at the Willis home and discovers the family living in terror—a vicious killer known as the Hangman has escaped and sworn revenge against them for his capture. With the family's lives hanging in the balance and the murderer closing in, Tim must use his wits to outmaneuver a madman whose thirst for vengeance burns as hot as the desert sun. What unfolds is a tense battle of strategy and survival as Tim races against time to stop the Hangman before his threats become reality.

Dead Man's Badge!
7 pp · Western-Frontier

Young Dan Roark inherits his father's patrol badge and heads deep into outlaw country to track down the mysterious leader of the brutal Snake Gang—the man responsible for his father's death. After infiltrating the gang's hideout in a hidden valley, Dan discovers their plan for a cattle rustling job at Mesa Verde Rancho, and he'll need every ounce of nerve and grit to settle his score before the gang realizes he's an undercover lawman.

The Crooked Trail
6 pp · Western-Frontier

Red Carver has everything a cowboy could want—a wife, a ranch, and a herd of cattle—but the hard work of running the spread wears him down, and mounting debts force him to consider easier paths to quick money. When desperation drives him to turn outlaw, a chance encounter during a robbery reveals whether he has the character to stay honest or surrender to the crooked trail entirely.
