Dark Is the Night (A Death & Texas Western)
From the bestselling chroniclers of the American West comes the second gun-blazing adventure that could only happen in Texas. Meet Cullen McCabe, a Lone Star sheriff who learned-the hard way-that there are two sure things in life . . . The great state of Texas is a land of opportunity. For outlaws. And that he's the man to protect the good people of Texas at any cost-and put the blast on anyone who gets in his way. . .
YOU ARE NOW ENTERING TEXAS. SAY YOUR PRAYERS.
There are a million ways to die in the great state of Texas. And on the lawless streets of New Hope, the odds are even worse. Once the home of Comanche, the region has been up for grabs since the settlers drove off the natives. Now it's a magnet for settlers looking for cheap land, merchants looking to exploit its resources-and outlaws looking for a place to hide in between robbing and killing. With shootouts and showdowns being a nightly occurrence, it's one of the deadliest places on earth. And the governor ain't happy about it. He wants to clean up the town. He wants to wipe away the scum. And he knows just the man to do it…
Enter Cullen McCabe. A small-town sheriff turned special agent, McCabe doesn't care what he has to do-or who he has to kill-to rid this hellhole of every rustler, robber, and ruthless cuss in sight.
Especially the notorious Viper Gang…

Meet Cullen McCabe, a man who can be called in to take care of problems throughout the state of Texas. Readers are introduced to Cullen McCabe in the first book in the series, Death in Texas. While Cullen’s past is littered with heart break, he now is on a mission along with quiet strength to take down those who are bent on destroying innocent lives. Cullen goes to a town where a gang nicknamed the Viper Gang might be operating or are they? There are settlers looking to make a home in a town that isn’t succumbing once again to outlaws as other towns, hence the name New Hope. In New Hope, there is a new sheriff who has possibly pulled a fast one on the town council. Cullen has his thoughts about the sheriff and his deputies but can’t prove it, yet. So, ride with the man who is sent by the governor and comes across many other challenges and problems before facing off with a deadly gun slinger. The ending will be a surprise for you and will leave you waiting with bated breath for the next Cullen McCabe adventure, which I hope comes soon!

I read the first in this series, “Death and Texas”, liked it so much that I had to read the second one. Cullen McCabe is a former lawman who after hunting down the outlaws that murdered his family, felt restless and unfulfilled. He is hired by the Texas governor to hunt down outlaws but in an unofficial manner. He is sent to the town of New Hope to find out why outlaws are just running rampant. Cullen doesn’t talk much, but he knows what he’s doing. There’s a lot of action to keep this really good story interesting. I enjoyed the book so much I finished it in 2 days. Looking forward to the next in the series to see where McCabe goes to next.
