Genesis

Monday's Brutal Bastard rides the Arizona Territory murdering innocent young women, each kill more vicious than the last...And the clock is ticking. On Monday, he strikes again. Kate McCoy, a whiskey-drinking clairvoyant, and her even-tempered partner, Federal Marshal Trace Morgan, search for a sadistic butcher in Genesis, a small town run by a brooding sheriff. Is the killer the enigmatic preacher from McCoy's past? The secretive, fugitive tracker? The saloon's owner? Or the town's own Sheriff Devereux, a man intent with more on his mind than death? Genesis is the first Morgan & McCoy chronicle. It is followed by Hard Bargain, Lazarus, Hand of Justice, Brimstone, and Trigger. The seventh in the series, Dead Reckoning, is due in 2007.
