Deuces Wild

Spur Award-Winning Author, winner of the 2007 Spur Award for Best Original Paperback Novel for The Horse Creek Incident.


When all the cards are wild, there are only three things to do:

Lay ’em . . . play ’em . . . or slay . . . ’em.


When the hardened Apache scout called Deuces is court-martialed for cold-blooded murder, he's sentenced to hang. But an appeal saves him from the noose—and he manages to escape on his way to prison in Texas. Relentless U.S. Marshal Burt Green is charged with finding the killer. Riding with a one-eyed Apache tracker, Burt hunts the elusive fugitive from Texas to the deep Southwest, where Deuces takes control of a band of renegade Apache and launches a reign of terror throughout the territory.


Against an enemy as deadly as he is cunning, outgunned in the middle of a hellish land, Burt Green must face down Deuces in a war between the lawful and the lawless. A war from which only one man can walk away. . . .


“A master storyteller, Dusty Richards takes the reader on a fast horse through a wild piece of American history and never reins up.” —Cotton Smith, author of The Thirteenth Bullet
