Wayfaring Stranger by James Lee Burke
A Holland Family Novel (1st in series)
Publisher: Simon & Schuster
Kindle Daily Deal Price: $2.99
In 1934, sixteen-year-old Weldon Avery Holland happens upon infamous criminals Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow after one of their notorious armed robberies. A confrontation with the outlaws ends with Weldon firing a gun, unsure whether it hit its mark.
Ten years later, Second Lieutenant Weldon Holland barely survives the Battle of the Bulge, in the process saving the lives of his sergeant, Hershel Pine, and a young Spanish prisoner of war, Rosita Lowenstein — a woman who holds the same romantic power over him as the strawberry blonde Bonnie Parker, and is equally mysterious. The three return to Texas where Weldon and Hershel get in on the ground floor of the nascent oil business.
In just a few years' time Weldon will spar with the jackals of the industry, rub shoulders with dangerous men, and win and lose fortunes twice over. But it is the prospect of losing his one true love that will spur his most reckless act yet — one inspired by that encounter long ago with the outlaws of his youth.

Shot in the Back by William W. Johnstone and J. A. Johnstone
A Western Thriller
Publisher: Pinnacle
Kindle Daily Deal Price: $1.99
1942 — Granbury, Texas. A ninety-five-year-old man walks into a recruiting office with the crazy idea to enlist — and an even crazier story. He claims to be the one and only Jesse James, the infamous bank robber allegedly shot by Robert Ford sixty years earlier. Using another man's corpse to collect the reward, Ford allowed James to slip away and start a new life. Changing his name to Dalton, Jesse worked as a cattle broker in Fort Worth and fathered a pair of twins named Bill and Frank. But when one of the boys turns out to be a chip off the old block — a young outlaw in the making — Jesse has no choice but to school the lad in the fine art of bank robbing so he doesn't get his fool head blown off. Problem is, once Jesse's son gets a taste of the outlaw life, he decides it isn't for him after all. Father Jesse, on the other hand, misses it …
So begins the wildest story the West has never known, proving that some legends are bigger than life — and a lot harder to kill …
