OVER YOUR DEAD BODY
Nebraska 1860
War clouds are gathering as civil unrest runs riot in the nation. In the gold rush town of Variable Breaks another war is looming. Belle Slaughter, released by her drink-sodden daddy from a grinding life in a Tennessee rundown shack, is aboard a snake-oil salesman's travelling show when it blows into town. They walk straight into the flying lead of a crazy gunfight on Main Street but a drifting cowhand is on hand, in the shape of Kirby Langstrom, a man with a mean gun and attitude to match.
Finding themselves owners of a dead man's saloon, Belle and her grifter boss are confronted by the envious eyes of Joe Bellows and his other fellow saloonkeepers, all of them vying for the lucrative gold trade in town. It's the start of a bloody battle that leads Belle and her companion on a vengeful pursuit across a country about to be torn apart by Civil War. They hunt not only a calculating enemy but also ride to preserve the life of a man whose safety could change the face of history.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Tony Masero is an internationally known Illustrator, who is perhaps best known for his stunning book covers. Of the many series he worked on he is particularly known for the two best selling and long running Western series for George G Gilman's Edge and Steele characters, where he painted most of the covers for the European market. Tony originally trained as a Graphic Designer in London and worked in the design field before taking up Illustration. After a successful career in Illustration he turned to writing and now often uses his earlier skills to create the design and artwork for his own book jackets. During a long career his artwork has fronted many popular books in different genres but his love of Westerns arose out of the research necessary to complete his artwork and in the same way he often creates his novels around some elements of historical fact. Tony has two sons and a daughter and now lives with his wife, Diana in Portugal.
