They called him the Maverick.

For five years, Moran Bailey has ridden the trails of the West, chasing a ghost known only as the Beast. From Texas to Colorado, miners, settlers, and outlaws alike know his name.

Now, the trail leads him to a mining town near Arizona’s Gila Mountains, where the Beast is rumored to be gathering hired guns. Moran rides toward Cactus Town knowing that the hunt is coming to an end... one way or another.

Along the way he finds unexpected allies, including a rancher’s family and Roxy, the spirited daughter who awakens in him something he never imagined. But love must wait until justice is done.

A fast-paced tale of vengeance and friendship on the American frontier, THE MAVERICK is the nineteenth book in the Bailey Clan Westerns series by Terence Newnes.
