A high-stakes gamble. A reluctant debtor. And a man who always collects.

Senator George Hearst has a problem?and there's only one man ruthless enough to solve it. When Hearst wins the San Francisco Examiner in a high-stakes poker game, the paper's current owner refuses to pay up. That's when Hearst turns to Neville Stryker, the deadly drifter with a reputation for settling debts the hard way.

Stryker doesn't ask questions; he just gets results. With a blade, a bullet, or his unrelenting will, he always collects. But in the cutthroat world of Hearst's San Francisco, even Stryker finds himself navigating dangerous waters, where enemies lurk in the shadows and allies are a luxury he can't afford.

As the tension escalates, the letters on Stryker's weathered saddle skirt tell the story better than words ever could. What remains of his name is what defines him: EVIL STRYKER.

For readers who crave dark, pulse-pounding westerns, book two in the Evil Stryker series delivers a relentless anti-hero, deadly showdowns, and a frontier where justice is whatever Stryker says it is.
