Targets West On Sale Now!
Hello Everyone –
I just wanted you all to know that my new thriller, Targets West, was published today by Down and Out Books. An innovative mashup of the western and spy novel, the book introduces Wyoming cattleman Lucas Wheeler to lovers of spy fiction. Targets West is available on Amazon.com or can be ordered through Barnes and Noble.
Targets West is an exciting thriller that places American rancher and cattleman Lucas Wheeler at the center of an international terrorist plot. Wheeler evades terrorists, government agents and hired killers on three continents before the startling conclusion at set in London’s crowded 02 arena.
The book is published by multi-award-winning Down and Out Books, which specializes in crime and thriller fiction.
I’ve been absolutely blessed with advance praise for Targets West. Kaira Rouda, USA Today & Amazon Charts Bestselling Author calling it “a pulse-pounding Western thriller that takes readers on a high-stakes journey where the rugged landscapes of the American West meet the dangerous world of international espionage.”
Edgar winner I.S. Berry, author of The Peacock and the Sparrow, wrote: “Nonstop, edge-of-your-seat stuff. McCrea has reinvented the Western, made it transatlantic. Shootouts, chases, rodeos, assassinations, stampedes--Targets West has everything. You'll struggle to find a dull moment.”
J. Michael Waller, author of Big Intel: How the CIA and FBI Went from Cold War Heroes to Deep State Villains, wrote: “Targets West is a pulse-pounding triumph of suspense, blending the raw grit of the American West with the shadowy intrigue of global espionage. Scott McCrea crafts Lucas Wheeler as a modern cowboy hero—tough, principled, and unflinching—whose journey from Wyoming’s plains to London’s chaotic arenas bucks a wild ride of danger and deception.”
I am SO proud of this book and I hope you enjoy it!

"Dr. Pop Culture" Likes Targets West!
I've been VERY LUCKY that some great people have said good things about my new thriller, Targets West. Here's what Charles Coletta, AKA "Dr. Pop Culture" had to say ... and am I grateful!
"Lucas Wheeler is a classic Western hero traversing the modern world and its darker corners of governmental espionage, international intrigue, and threats of terrorism. Author Scott McCrea has crafted a true “page turner” that kept me captivated from the first page until the exciting conclusion. His characters are so vividly drawn that they become people we truly are transfixed by as they maneuver through the intricate plot. If only Alfred Hitchcock were still around to adapt this winning adventure story for the silver screen!"
