[Hart 02] • Hart the Regulator 2

The brainchild of Amazon Kindle Number One bestselling western writers Mike Stotter and Ben Bridges, PICCADILLY PUBLISHING is dedicated to reissuing classic fiction from Yesterday and Today!

BLOOD TRAIL

The trickle of blood from a scalped corpse in a deathly quiet Stillwater saloon told Hart that the Cheyenne had paid a visit … But there had to be a reason.

A crooked rancher called Fredericks … a loud-mouthed cowboy who deserves what’s coming to him … a shady deal with the Cheyenne on the receiving end … and that two-bit rustler called Belle Starr with a liking for hard-hitting, hawk-eyed gunmen – like Wes Hart.

Initially a teacher of English and Drama, the novelist John Harvey began writing in 1975, and now has over 100 published books to his credit, most recently a collection of short stories, A Darker Shade of Blue, and a novel, Good Bait. The first of his celebrated Charlie Resnick novels, Lonely Hearts, was named by The Times as one of the 100 most notable crime novels of the last century. Flesh and Blood, the first of three Frank Elder novels, was awarded both the British Crime Writers' Association Silver Dagger and the US Barry Award in 2004. In 2007 he received the CWA Cartier Diamond Dagger for Sustained Excellence in Crime Writing, and in 2009 he was made an honorary Doctor of Letters by the University of Nottingham. A published poet, John ran Slow Dancer Press for nearly twenty years; in addition, he has written many scripts for television and radio, including dramatisations of novels by Graham Greene and A.S. Byatt and (with Shelley Silas) Paul Scott's The Raj Quartet. John was one of the original 'Piccadilly Cowboys' and we are proud to reissue his Hart the Regulator series.
