Title: Cruel Rider
Description: TILL DEATH DO THEY PART

Bill Pike wasn't born a bad man. It took years of hardscrabble living and a cruel, violent upbringing to forge Pike into what he has become: a savage killer with no mercy for those who get in his way or do him wrong. Now his wife has up and ran off on him, and he's about to let her go without a reckoning. 
When pretty Polly Pike asks mountain man Jordan Gray to guide her to the Black Hills, he isn't happy about taking the job, and he finds nothing but problems when they hit the boomtown called Deadwood. There's no shortage of sinister men in town who want to get Polly between the sheets for a spell-and put Gray in the ground forever. 
But the greatest danger is yet to come. Bill Pike has discovered where his wife ran off to, and he's coming to Deadwood to take back what's his....
