Publisher's Synopsis
Cain Hayden has been gunman, rustler, horse thief, and road agent. How one can go downward from there seems impossible, but Cain has done it. Now, as Yuma's official town drunk, he's reached the point that to go anywhere would mean going up. And with the help of friend Muley Evans, and Missus Melody Tate, madam and proprietress of the notorious Deitrich Dairy Farm, he has the chance to do just that.All he needs to do is avoid deadly confrontations with back-shooter Deputy Enid Claver, Mexican banditos, the sadistic killer known as Sergio Sandini, and desert Apaches. But Cain is one of the famous, or perhaps infamous, West Texas Hayden clan. And that makes Cain Hayden an odds-on favorite.Wayne A. Walter's western adventure series follows the Hayden Clan of West Texas, recalling the excitement and danger of the old West. Starting with the two Hayden brothers, Abel and Cain, along with Abel and Sarah's six offspring -- Matt, Mark, Luke, Johnny, Ruth and Esther -- there are plenty enough Haydens, and more than enough excitement to go around. And the action isn't limited to their West Texas ranch. Danger and adventure take family members to the Arizona and New Mexico Territory, Colorado, and even old Mexico.
