About
Since the end of the War of Rebellion, Eric Stratemeier thought he had put his past behind him for good. He came to the Arizona high country as the new owner of the embattled Hatchet outfit, boss to a dozen men and ten thousand cattle. But there his past was waiting for him, along with a passel of angry men who wanted the rich Hatchet spread for themselves. Stratemeier stood alone, with no law to back him, no secrets to shield him-with sudden death breathing down his neck. The author of more than seventy books, Brian Garfield is one of USA's most prolific writes of thrillers, westerns and other genre fiction. Raised in Arizona, Garfield found success at an early age, publishing his first novel when he was only eighteen. Which, at the time, made him one of the youngest writers of Western novels in print.A former ranch-hand, he is a student of Western and South-western history, an expert on guns, and a sports car enthusiast. After time in the Army, a few years touring with a jazz band, and a Master's Degree from the University of Arizona, he settled into writing full time.Garfield is a past president of the Mystery Writers of America and the Western Writers of America, and the only author to have held both offices. Nineteen of his novels have been made into films, including Death Wish (1972), The Last Hard Men (1976) and Hopscotch (1975), for which he wrote the screenplay.To date, his novels have sold over twenty million copies worldwide. He and his wife live in California.
