Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story begins where the trail went cold. The second season of Maisy Farley’s true crime podcast takes her to Dead Man’s Hollow, an expansive conservation area just outside Pittsburgh, to investigate a cold case. In 1994, a sixteen-year-old girl vanished from a party in the woods. Heather Ryan has never been found, and no suspect has ever been arrested. As the thirtieth anniversary of the girl’s disappearance approaches, Maisy is determined to uncover the truth about what happened to her. The teenagers with Heather that night, now middle-aged parents, remain tight-lipped about the events in the hollow. When details emerge, they're dark, disturbing, and not entirely trustworthy. And someone will stop at nothing to keep the long-buried truth hidden. Dead Man’s Hollow is the second book in the Maisy Farley series by USA Today bestselling author Melissa F. Miller.

Book excerpt: The first in a bold, new, gun-blazing Western series introducing Carson Stone. He may be reformed, but he's still a wanted man. Unless he can track down the biggest, baddest outlaw on the Dead Man's Trail! The most wanted man in the West, Big Bob Magraw has earned his reputation as a thief and killer. With a gang of trigger-happy desperadoes willing to do his bidding, Magraw has robbed banks, stagecoaches, and railroads, raised hell ravaging towns, and left bodies littering the streets in his wake. Carson Stone rode with Magraw's gang exactly once, minding their horses during a bank robbery, before quitting. But with the marshal of El Paso, Texas, gunned down in cold blood as the bandits escaped, he's been judged guilty by association. To clear his name, Carson teams up with bounty hunter Colby Tate to track down the outlaws--now scattered across the frontier--and bring them to justice. And Carson must convince his partner to bring Magraw in alive or he'll never escape the shadow of the hangman's noose. . .

Download or read book Flint Hills Cowboys written by Jim Hoy and published by University Press of Kansas. This book was released on 2006-04-27 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Flint Hills are America's last tallgrass prairie, a green enclave set in the midst of the farmland of eastern Kansas. Known as the home of the Big Beef Steer, these rugged hills have produced exemplary cowboys-both the ranch and rodeo varieties-whose hard work has given them plenty of material for equally good stories. Jim Hoy grew up in the Flint Hills on a ranch at Cassoday that's been in his family for five generations and boasts roots "as deep as those of bluestem grass in black-soil bottomland." He now draws on this area's rich cowboy lore-as well as on his own experience working cattle, breaking horses, and rodeoing-to write a folk history of the Flint Hills spanning a century and a half. Hoy blends history, folklore, and memoir to conjure for readers the tallgrass prairies of his boyhood in a book that richly recalls the ranching life and the people who lived it. Here are cowboys and outlaws, rodeo stars and runaway horses, ordinary folks and the stuff of legends. Hoy introduces readers to the likes of Lou Hart, a top hand with the Crocker Brothers from 1906 to1910, whose poetic paean to ranch life circulated orally for fifty years before seeing print. And he tracks down the legend of Bud Gillette, considered by his neighbors the world's fastest man until he fell in with an unscrupulous promoter. He even unravels the mystery of a lone grave supposed to be that of the first cowboy in the Flint Hills. Hoy also explains why a good horse makes up for having to work with exasperating cattle-and why not all horses are created (or trained) equal. And he traces Flint Hills cattle culture from the days of the trail drive through the railroad years to today's trucking era, with most railroad stockyards torn down and only one section house left standing. Writes Hoy, "I feed on the stories of the Hills and the characters who tell them as the cattle feed on the grasses." His love of the land shines throughout a book so real that readers will swear they hear the click of horseshoes on flint rock with every turn of the page.
