A WEREWOLF IN THE WEST?

The new Western by Howard Hopkins under penname Lance Howard stretches the boundaries of typical Horse Opera,
creating a unique and captivating blend of western, mystery and compelling drama. Hopkins is one of the few writers in the genre to focus on the trials of character
that transcend genre and appeal to the modern reader, all delivered in an exciting read and uniquely captivating style.

From the Blurb:

A killer stalks the dusty streets of Wolf's Bend, murdering beneath the light of an Apache moon, its victims are all torn apart as if by some vicious animal. Is it the work of man or beast--or something entirely
worse?

A pair of outlaw brothers bent on discovering a secret hidden on a widow's ranch will stop at nothing to reach their evil ends. One, a newspaper owner wielding a
poison pen, spreads fear and prejudice while the other, a half-wit hardcase with a penchant for violence, incites peaceful townsfolk into an enraged vigilante mob.

When manhunter Tom Hogan, a man haunted by the mistakes of his past, returns to the once peaceful town he finds himself caught in a web of murder, menace and mayhem. Within hours the shadowy marauder is on his
trail, its chilling howl rising in the moon-glazed Colorado night.

Can Tom overcome his own demons, unravel the mystery and save the life of a beautiful half-breed, or will he become the final victim of the West Wolf?
