A Reckoning

Unflinching #4

by Stuart G. Yates

Someone is hell-bent on killing Detective Simms of the Pinkerton Detective Agency. While investigating a clutch of brutal murders, Simms is dragged into a life-and-death struggle with a bunch of desperadoes, numerous Indians, a gunfighter and a double-crossing U.S. Marshall by the name of Dixon. This will not be the easiest time of his life, nor the most peaceful. By the end of it, a lot of people will end up dead. All Simms needs to do is make sure he isn't one of them. A Reckoning is a standalone novel and can be enjoyed even if you haven't read other books in the series. Praise for A

About the author

My first published book 'Cold Hell in Darley Dene' (written as Glenn Stuart) was the culmination of years of trying to get myself into print. Back in 1979 I submitted a novel to a publisher, and in 2009 Darley Dene was accepted. Thirty years of honing my skills, and learning a lot about the world. If I had the chance, I'd almost certainly re-write all of my books, improve them, make them more solid, because the more we write, the better we get.This is what has happened to 'Darley Dene'. It's now available as 'Lament for Darley Dene', re-written and improved. Soon, you will find the same with 'The Pawnbroker', a horror story which I am sure many out there will enjoy.
My current day-job is being a teacher, a job I love. Without it I would not be able to continue to write; it also gives me a wealth of characters and so many ideas. The bills get paid too!
I write now as Stuart G Yates in a range of genres. Unflinching is my best-selling Western, but if you like historical fiction, thrillers or spine-tingling horror, I am sure I have a title for you.
For the moment, I live in Spain, which is not so wonderful as people try to make out, and I would dearly love to return to Old Blighty, find a little cottage and write full time. Or the Philippines and be with my fiance, marry her, find happiness. Dreams, but dreams that I am trying very hard to make true. Afterall, it's dreaming what writers do best...don't they?

Excellent!

Excellent story. Good carry over from book 3. Just a good tale across all the "Unflinching" series. I will read more from this author!
