  Bestselling author Robert Vaughan's fan favorite Lucas Cain is back with another fast-paced action and adventure tale set in the old wild west. 
   
   
   
  First introduced in Vaughan's A Rambling Man, Lucas Cain is back in the saddle, searching for some peace of mind and some solace after the loss of his wife and newborn child. He has continued his traveling from town to town, an itinerant lawman focused on capturing the bad guys for whatever amount is on the wanted papers for them. Local sheriffs and marshals, though initially wary of him, come to love him because does what he does without pay—other than the reward money. 
   
   
   
  Cain finds himself in some tough spots, but always manages to stay one step—and one fast bullet—ahead of the outlaws he seeks. Dudley Stewart and his gang just might be the ones to stop that, though . . .  
   
   
   
  On a lazy crime spree throughout the southwest, Stewart and his renegades have, up to now, been cutting a path of death, destruction, and loss through many a town . . . until Lucas Cain gets wind of their actions and gets it into his head to end the reign of terror with a hail of bullets . . .

  "A fascinating glimpse into how Dick's uniquely warped perspective evolved." —Entertainment Weekly (Grade: A) 
   
  Humpty Dumpty in Oakland is a tragedy, a dark comedy, and vintage Philip K. Dick. 
   
  Al Miller is a self-proclaimed nobody, a used-car salesman with a lot full of junkers. His elderly landlord, Jim Fergessen, has decided to retire and has just cashed in on his property, which includes the lot that Al rents next to Fergessen’s garage. 
   
  Chris Harman is a record-company owner who has relied on Fergessen’s for years to fix his Cadillac. When he hears about Jim Fergessen’s sudden retirement fund, he tells him about a new realty development that Harman swears is a surefire path to easy wealth. Fergessen sees his chance to finally be a real businessman, well-to-do and respected like Harman. 
   
  Al is convinced that Harman is a crook out to fleece Fergessen. Even if he doesn’t particularly like Fergessen, Al is not going to stand by and watch him get cheated. Only Al’s not very good at this, either. Maybe he’s not even right. 
   
  "It would be a shame to miss this….We all know that easy money rarely is, but it's a lesson worth reading about again." —The Kansas City Star 
   
  "This paranoid and ambiguity-filled exploration into the psyche of the small businessman showcases not only Dick's wild imagination and sardonic wit but also, and most notably, his mastery at intertwining perception with reality." —Publishers Weekly

  Tobias Walcott, the Earl of Blade, has learned it is best to exercise rigid control over his passions and emotions in all that he does. Uncaring that it makes him seem cool and aloof to most in the ton, he is content with his desire to only woo agreeable and demur females. Then, unforeseen circumstances see him trapped in a closet at a house party with the last woman he would ever make his countess.
  
  Lady Olivia Sherwood is everything he should not desire in a female—unconventional, too decisive, and utterly without decorum. But passion ignites between them and they are discovered. Honor demands they wed, and while Tobias finds himself unwillingly drawn to the bewitching beauty, he must do everything not to tempt the passion that burns in him for her, lest it leads to disastrous consequences.
