Genesis — Dakota Kincaid

Monday's Brutal Bastard rides the Arizona Territory murdering innocent young women, each kill more vicious than the last... And the clock is ticking. On Monday, he strikes again. Kate McCoy, a whiskey-drinking clairvoyant, and her even-tempered partner, Federal Marshal Trace Morgan, search for a sadistic butcher in Genesis, a small town run by a brooding sheriff. Is the killer the enigmatic preacher from McCoy's past? The secretive, fugitive tracker? The saloon's owner? Or the town's own Sheriff Devereux, a man intent with more on his mind than death? Genesis is the first Morgan & McCoy chronicle. It is followed by Hard Bargain, Lazarus, Hand of Justice, Brimstone, and Trigger. The seventh in the series, Dead Reckoning, is due in 2007.
