Lassiter

Lassiter was bumming a ride on The Caprice Queen when a bunch of river pirates blew the riverboat out of the water and got away with a hundred thousand dollars in gold. He decided to make the dynamiters pay for the inconvenience, and a hundred thousand - thewhole bundle - was the figure he decided on. Getting it wouldn't be easy, but in the end, Lassiter always got what he wanted. Peter J. McCurtin was born in Ireland on 15 October 1929, and immigrated to America when he was in his early twenties. Records also confirm that, in 1958, McCurtin co-edited the short-lived (one issue) New York Review with William Atkins. By the early 1960s, he was co-owner of a bookstore in Ogunquit, Maine, and often spent his summers there. His westerns in particular are distinguished by unusual plots with neatly resolved conclusions, well-drawn secondary characters, regular bursts of action and tight, smooth writing. If you haven't already checked him out, you have quite a treat in store.McCurtin also wrote under the name of Jack Slade and Gene Curry.

Getting it wouldn't be easy, but in the end, Lassiter always got what he wanted.Lassiter is totally amoral, totally unpredictable, more like a cougar than a man.Sometimes he kills, sometimes he purrs, sometimes he does a little of both together. It all depends on his mood.Lassiter doesn't know the meaning of good or evil-he just knows what he wants. And to get what he wants, he will lie, cheat, steal, and even kill without a morsel of regret.Sometimes he's a hero, sometimes he's a villain-with Lassiter you can't ever be sure. You can't even be sure whether you're for him or against him. You can only be sure of one thing: if you read about Lassiter once, you'll want to read about him again and again. Peter J.

When people get in his way he kills them. It's a simple way of doing things, but Lassiter likes it. It works for him.

Lassiter wants Diana Kelly for the money she can bring him … Wells Fargo wants Lassiter so they use Diana to bait a trap.With Wells Fargo's legal killers snapping at his heels, he figured it was time he headed north to Wyoming-and rested up for a spell. But it wasn't that easy. Things never are simple-or easy-for Lassiter. Because Lassiter is the kind of man who finds trouble wherever he goes. This time there was big trouble and big money and a beautiful woman-all the things Lassiter lives for. Lassiter steals and kills and you might just mistake him for a born killer. The truth is-Lassiter kills people to stay alive. And that's exactly what Lassiter plans to do-to stay alive no matter what it takes. Lassiter-like it or not-is a new breed of Westerner. Peter J.

Lassiter rode into a mess for $250. He was to kill a man that had killed his employer's brother.When he rode into the town of McDade, he found himself in the middle of a civil war. Two old war officers, a Yankee who hated the Confederacy and a Rebel who loved the South were vying for control of the territory. Lassiter had been in town for four hours, been braced by the Sheriff, offered a job by the Rebel, and when he tried to ride out of town, had to kill the Sheriff and his deputy.Now he's the Sheriff and charged, for a piece of the action, with getting rid of the Yankee and his pet gunman, a black gunfighter, who had already killed the man Lassiter had come to town looking for.But, as usual, Lassiter has his own agenda.

When Lassiter found the man with two arrows in his back, he picked his pockets and found a gilt-edge invitation to muscle in on some easy money. He left the corpse to bury itself and high-tailed it into a situation that had him fighting for his life from the very beginning. But that was part of Lassiter's business-no matter how many other men died.Now Lassiter's trying to find a hoard of buried silver worth a cool $100,000. The only trouble is, ten other tough hombres have all got the same idea. Peter J. McCurtin was born in Ireland on 15 October 1929, and immigrated to America when he was in his early twenties.

Lassiter rode up from Lordsburg to Abilene with money on his mind. Texas Jack Chandler-the richest, meanest bastard in the Lone Star State-was on the trail, heading north with a huge herd of cattle, and a fortune in gold. All that stood between Lassiter and the biggest haul of all time was Chandler-and the most vicious rag-tag army of killers ever gathered together in one place. Peter J.
