The town of Crazy Kate, once known as Little Bucharest, was renamed after Katarina Barkova not only went mad after a wolf killed her beau but—legend has it—turned into a werewolf.

His arrival coincides with the next full moon—and the outlaw with him bears the marks of a wolf attack. The local law may be armed to the teeth with silver bullets, but...

But when Deputy U.S. Marshal Custis Long arrives in Curen Town, the young offender’s father—who happens to run the town named after him—has no intentions of letting his son go to Denver for trial. When bribery and deception fail, Edward Curen, Sr., resorts to more desperate measures to stop Longarm—namely a $5,000 bounty on the lawman’s head. Money like that is enough to turn decent townsfolk...

When hooded stagecoach robbers accidentally steal a strongbox containing U.S. mail along with their loot, they make the mistake of committing a federal crime—and tangling with Deputy U.S. Marshal Custis Long. The robbers have a clear modus operandi—always working as a pair, they hide their faces and do their talking only with their shotguns. With little to go on in terms of the thieves’ identity, Longarm follows a trail of clues to a Deadwood...

It's sort of an unwritten code of the West--if you shoot a woman who's trying to steal your horse, you promise to find her kidnapped daughter. Deputy United States Marshal Custis Long was all set for a relaxing vacation up in the mountains, catching trout and smoking cheroots as he watched the sunset. Instead, he's startled out of his bedroll by someone trying to steal his horse. Longarm shoots first, only to discover the "thief" is actually a woman...

Fourteen-year-old Bodie may be able to take down an assailant with a two-shot derringer, but the kid is still a long way from being able to take care of himself and his wounded wolf dog, Homer. After Deputy U.S. Marshal Custis Long sees Bodie attacked on the streets of Denver, the lawman takes him under his wing. But Bodie needs more than food and shelter. The scraggly kid may not know it, but he’s in line for a sizable inheritance. Now he’s a...

When Deputy U.S. Marshal Custis Long's boss, Billy Vail, sends him to the town of Salt Springs in New Mexico Territory to investigate a possibly crooked lawman, he needs a good cover. Whiskey salesman, wandering gambler, and doctor specializing in female complaints are all ruled out. Land speculator should be safe, Billy decides. But Longarm still manages to get himself into some trouble when he books a room in the town's only hotel, which also happens...

Mild-mannered postal thief Brian Henry is not about to give Deputy U.S. Marshal Custis Long any trouble on the ride back to Denver for trial. After being double-crossed by a tantalizing temptress who took his money, Brian is good and licked.

Longarm has tangled with some dirty double-crossers in his day, but the luscious Lacy Sackett may be the dirtiest of them all. She’s used her feminine wiles to hoodwink a long list of men—her banker father, the outlaws who’ve robbed her father’s bank, clueless cavalry Captain Dickie Shafter, and even Deputy U.S. Marshal Custis Long.
