"For readers who thing Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian is for toddler." - Mark Stay, talking about Hot Lead, the first book in the Robin Castle series of westerns. If nobody remembers your name... you haven't killed enough people. Robin Castle is a big guy on a big horse. An ex-lawman who gave up his badge in pursuit of vengeance. Now he wants to be left alone. But trouble has a way of finding him. Walter Hicks is a violent outlaw profiting from the bounties placed on his own head. His twisted game leaves devastation and dead bodies in every town he tears through. Hicks' insane plan works every time, until he crosses Robin Castle. Brutal. Relentless. Violent from the first page to the last, Alias Hicks is a blood-soaked western that doesn't flinch.
