1
A Texas Ranger faces off with terrorists while trapped inside a small-town courthouse during a blizzard—from the author of the Red River mysteries. It’s a stunning attack, lightning quick and chilling in its execution. A merciless gang of terrorists seizes the Presidio County Courthouse in the midst of the worst blizzard West Texas has seen in a century. Loaded down with enough fire power to outfit an army, the attackers slaughter dozens, take all survivors hostage, and assume complete control. The nation—and the U.S. government—are at their mercy. Or so they think. They don’t know that a seasoned Texas Ranger is also inside the courthouse. Sonny Hawke has hauled in some of America’s Most Wanted. Now he’s up against his most dangerous adversary yet. Sonny likes his chances. The enemy is his to take down—one by one. Until he’s face-to-face with the ruthless mastermind gunning for our very freedom . . . First in the series and perfect for fans of Die Hard! Praise for the Spur Award–winning Reavis Z.

- Hawke's War
2
A Texas Ranger pursues a deadly drug cartel through the badlands of Big Bend in this Western thriller by the Spur Award–winning author of Hawke’s Target. The serene beauty of West Texas’s Big Bend National Park is shattered when four hikers are brutally ambushed by a sniper. Only one survives to report the murders. When investigators come up with nothing, they’re left wondering if this is an isolated incident—or the beginning of a rampage. One week later, Texas Ranger Sonny Hawke heads into the park, determined to unearth the truth. Before he knows it, he’s in the same sniper’s crosshairs. The drug and human smuggling cartel Coyotes Rabiosos—Rabid Coyotes—have lured him to remote backcountry, looking for payback for an old grudge. Wounded and stranded in the harsh desert terrain, Sonny is hunted, outnumbered, and about to become the target of an even more dangerous enemy—one whose thirst for revenge could incite an international conflict far beyond the U.S.-Mexican border.
