A novel by John B Harvey (John Harvey)
The brainchild of Amazon Kindle Number One bestselling western writers Mike Stotter and Ben Bridges, PICCADILLY PUBLISHING is dedicated to reissuing classic fiction from Yesterday and Today!
THE SILVER LIE
Little Alice was cute. And brave. On her father's instructions - and for the right price - Hart agreed to escort her to Denver. Seemed like easy money ... until Hart discovered silver bullion stashed away in the stagecoach ...
Lee Sternberg's gang found out too. So they figured on blowing Hart's head clean off and making a quick exit with the loot. Hart thought different. So after the blood of an ambush, it's the agony of a kidnapping and the brutality of a pulse-pounding showdown in a Rancho Nuevo whorehouse ...
And all this for a little girl ...
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Initially a teacher of English and Drama, the novelist John Harvey began writing in 1975, and now has over 100 published books to his credit, most recently a collection of short stories, A Darker Shade of Blue, and a novel, Good Bait. The first of his celebrated Charlie Resnick novels, Lonely Hearts, was named by The Times as one of the 100 most notable crime novels of the last century. Flesh and Blood, the first of three Frank Elder novels, was awarded both the British Crime Writers' Association Silver Dagger and the US Barry Award in 2004. In 2007 he received the CWA Cartier Diamond Dagger for Sustained Excellence in Crime Writing, and in 2009 he was made an honorary Doctor of Letters by the University of Nottingham. A published poet, John ran Slow Dancer Press for nearly twenty years; in addition, he has written many scripts for television and radio, including dramatisations of novels by Graham Greene and A.S. Byatt and (with Shelley Silas) Paul Scott's The Raj Quartet. John was one of the original 'Piccadilly Cowboys' and we are proud to reissue his Hart the Regulator series.
