An art historian gets caught up in a deadly international standoff in this "inventive" political thriller (The Guardian). What would happen if Greek extremists blackmailed Britain into returning ancient sculptures? And what if that blackmail involved not only Queen Elizabeth II, but also dark secrets about her uncle, the Duke of Windsor?   When Edward Andover, Surveyor of the Queen's Pictures, receives a painting by Raphael from an anonymous collective known only as the "Apollo Brigade," he's nonplussed. But the ominous delivery is soon followed by two more. All three paintings, it turns out, were looted by the Nazis during World War II. Soon, Andover finds himself racing to prevent the public exposure of secrets from the royal family's past, should they not meet the group's demand to return of the Elgin Marbles from the Parthenon, on display at the British Museum. What's more, his very life may be at stake as the Apollo Brigade makes its violent intentions known.   Set over the course of five explosive weeks, Stones of Treason features "intelligent action in a realistic thriller" in the tradition of Dan Brown's blockbuster Robert Langdon novels (TheMail on Sunday).

Hailed by the Western Writers of America as one of the top twenty-five Westerns ever written: The harrowing story of an innocent young man pursued across west Texas by a relentless posse  A crack shot more skilled with a rifle than are men twice his age, eighteen-year-old Tot Lohman has no intention of using his genius for evil.

The Boyds are numerous, powerful, and vicious, and they want revenge. With no one else to turn to, Lohman sets out across canyon country to reunite with his ailing father in New Mexico Territory. The journey will be long, hot, and perilous, and to survive it, this mild-mannered boy must become the cold-blooded killer he never wanted to be.    Based on real events, The Hell Bent Kid is a tale of pursuit as stark and mesmerizing as the Southwestern landscape in which it is set.

In 1958 it was adapted into the film From Hell to Texas, directed by the famed Henry Hathaway and starring Don Murray, Diane Varsi, Chill Wills, and Dennis Hopper.
