Book excerpt: Two dozen riders came down Roswell's Main Street at a slow pace. The men were well armed. Winchester rifles were in their scubbards, Revolver grips protruded from the low-buckled holsters. Here and there a shotgun could also be seen. Some of the riders wore bandoliers around their shoulders. Dust covered their clothing. At the head of this sinister pack rode a man with a black beard. He wore a suit with a bowtie. At his side hung a Colt with a name engraved on the ivory-colored handle. DARREN McCALL - in large letters. McCall reined in the reins near the McMillan store. Next to him rode a dark-haired beauty - the only woman in the crowd of riders. She was wearing a riding dress and fanning herself with her hat. "Is this that nest called Roswell?" she asked with clear contempt in her voice. McCall laughed. "Now Roswell is still a rat hole. But that will change soon... Once everything here is mine!"
