The
Jailor’s son
Western
A preternaturally talented boy fights evil in the Dakota Territory
in this thrilling tale of boy against evil.
Maxwell Beck is no average boy. Thanks to his pa’s insistence, he’s a sharpshooter, sleight of hand artist, acrobat, and cardsharp – handy, yet highly unusual skills for the son of a traveling salesman.
Even so, young Max leads a somewhat normal life until days before his fifteenth birthday when his pa is accidentally wounded during one of Max’s lessons. Not only does Max learn the shocking truth about his birth, he also learns about an ominous past that seems linked to his future.
Max rushes his dying pa to Deadwood. It’s there that his pa breathes his final breath and Max comes face to face with his uncle, Chase “Turtle” Beck, the sheriff of Deadwood and a man he never knew existed. After Max prevents an outlaw from shooting his uncle in the back, Turtle grudgingly takes Max in with the understanding that Max must not use or put any of his special skills on display.
Max quickly adapts to his new life as a cowboy on his uncle’s ranch. But when an outlaw gang savagely attacks Turtle and threatens to strip Max of all he holds dear, he must break his promise to his uncle and stop the outlaws by whatever means necessary.
The ensuing battle of boy against man and good against evil gives birth to a legend…the legend of the Jailer’s Son.

her Ray-bans in shaman’s secrets, mysterious deaths, madness, and – ah yes –

worse. This is what Daniel Tallon finds when he enlists and
tries to hide in the khaki anonymity of the army. He soon realises that this is
the start of his real problems.
Now he faces the bullying attention of a corrupt Regimental Sergeant Major and is led into a situation where the only way out is to go up against a champion army boxer. A boxer with the reputation of a brutal style and the frame to regularly dish out something only just short of murder.
Then, sent on Foreign Service to the India of the Raj, the challenges and action increase their draw upon him. Now on that vast subcontinent of unfamiliar sights and customs it is quicker wits as well as physical endurance that are demanded. His existing qualities are tested and others necessarily found when he inadvertently makes an enemy of a Pathan gun-runner and, in a moment of infatuation with a maharajah’s daughter, he ends up confronting a deadly tigress while armed only with an antique pistol.
And in the background to all of this are the unlikely concerns of his former aristocratic employer. Has Lord St. Keverne something to hide, and is there a connection to a Maharajah who goes to great trouble to contrive a meeting with Tallon?
Throughout these trials Tallon collects some friends as interesting, and often as dangerous, as his enemies. ‘Tallon’s Kill’ is a historical action adventure with elements of the detective novel. It is set within the British Army immediately prior to the outbreak of the First World War.
