They'd killed five men already, and stole a quarter of a million dollars in silver and gold. Now, a band of vicious thieves has drawn the best man that Wells Fargo can send: the rangy, mysterious Chicago-based Pinkerton agent named Ash Tallman. An operator who works with a pleasure- loving beauty who goes by many names and does her best work in the least amount of clothes, Tallman is heading to Red Rock, Arizona territory. In the shadow of the towering Ricon mountain range, hardcase highwaymen are plotting their next hold-up-and will hurt as many people as they can along the way. Ash and his lady, both going deep undercover, quickly find their way inside the strange, vicious outlaw band, but that's only the beginning. For while the killing goes down in Red Rock, the planning takes place in Tucson. And that's where two outgunned Pinkertons must face an evil all its own...

Pure Trash,

This review is from: Crossfire (Ash Tallman) (Mass Market Paperback)
I enjoy Matt Braun's books but this entire series is nothing more than an adult novel with all the explicit sexual descriptions. I'm no prude however, if I wanted to read something like this I'd visit the local adult book store.

This review is from: Crossfire (Ash Tallman) (Mass Market Paperback)
In recent years Matt Braun's westerns have been of top notch quality, but back in the early 1980s, he wrote a series of "adult" westerns under the pseudonym of Tom Lord. This is one of them. It is filled with page after page of explicit sex scenes that are both deviant and disgusting. The violence is also explicit. If you don't mind descriptions of brain matter being splattered left and right, you might be able to tolerate this book, but if you are a fan of the traditional kind of westerns the author has published under his own name before now, I think you will be shocked, to put it mildly. I do not believe I will ever read another book by Matt Braun.
