WHEN A MAN IS LOCKED IN A BOX
HE HAS NO CHOICE BUT TO BLAST HIS WAY OUT!
Meet Dag Enberg, a brand-new western hero from the pen of Peter Brandvold...
In this violent, sexy tale of bloody redemption, Dag Enberg is a shotgun rider for Arizona’s Yuma Stage Line. A big, rawboned Norwegian, he’s one of the best in the business. But when a group of outlaws led by Cougar Ketchum kidnap Enberg’s pregnant wife and threaten to kill her if Enberg doesn’t turn over a valuable strongbox, Enberg is forced to go against his instincts.
He turns over the strongbox without a fight.
The owner of the strongbox, Logan Cates, believes that Enberg has thrown in with Ketchum. Logan Cates owns the stage line and half the county. He’s a powerful man as well as the stepfather of Enberg’s wife. He also knows that Enberg has many weaknesses, not the least of which is whiskey and women.
When Cates turns his sites on Enberg, a bloody war breaks out...as well as a desperate chase into Mexico for the stolen gold and Enberg’s woman.
A BAD WAY TO DIE
Enberg dropped the table leg. He strode across the room, pushed through the batwings, and stopped on the saloon’s front porch to watch Leclerk kneeling in the street before a woman dressed to the nines in a stylish salmon dress, white shirtwaist, and feathered picture hat. She was taking mincing steps backward, tripping over the hem of her gown as she tried to flee the big man who was clawing at her as though trying to maul her.
She was Constance Norman, wife of one of the county’s wealthiest ranchers.
The panicked, strangling Leclerk was only beseeching the horrified woman for help. Which she, of course, couldn’t offer.
The best sawbones on the frontier couldn’t have fixed Leclerk’s busted windpipe.
The woman screamed again as she tripped over her gown and fell to her butt in the street. Writhing in horror of his fast-approaching demise, Leclerk flopped down on top of her, kicking his legs and arms and raking his fingers across his throat. His grisly strangling sounds rose above the woman’s shrieks.
Leclerk turned over and over as he fought death, his horrifically swelling face growing bright red and then blue until, after nearly a minute of violent convulsing, the woman screaming and trying to kick him away, he finally stopped fighting.
The dark angels of death swept over him.
Leclerk rolled onto his back, legs spread wide. He blinked one last time, gave a final twitch, and lay glaring toward Heaven.

Peter Brandvold returns with THE SHOTGUN RIDER, a terrific stand-alone Western novel (or maybe it's the first of a series, who knows) about Dag Enberg, a big Norwegian currently working as a shotgun guard on a stagecoach line in southern Arizona. Dag is a pretty messed-up hombre, especially since returning from the Civil War. He drinks too much, and he's in love with a beautiful Mexican soiled dove even though he's married to the stepdaughter of the richest man in town...who as the owner of the stage line happens to be Dag's boss. Then his wife is kidnapped and he's forced to get involved in a stagecoach robbery, which leads to Dag winding up behind bars. To rescue his wife and clear his name, he has to escape and set off on a dangerous pursuit across the border and deep into Mexico...That noirish set-up turns into a top-notch adventure yarn. As always in a Brandvold novel, the characters are interesting, the setting is rendered vividly, and the action-packed plot races along. THE SHOTGUN RIDER is entertaining from start to finish and with its gritty tone would have fit right in with the Gold Medal Western line from the Fifties. It's about the length of a Gold Medal, too, which means no padding, just great story. This is one of Mean Pete's best and one of the best books I've read this year, period. Highly recommended.

THE SHOTGUN RIDER edition by Peter Brandvold Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Good read.
I've said it before and ill say it again. Peter is a consumate master of his craft. This is my favorite series of his to date.
A very good story. A little too much romance for my taste, but a good story nonetheless. My first experience with this author but not the last.
The Shotgun Rider is a very good story. It's a little salty, but has a certain frankness about it. It is mostly an action story, about a young man who rides shotgun for the stagecoach. Dag Enberg is in love with a whore, and married to another young woman.
In the mix of this western are a ne'er-do-well guard with a deadly shotgun, a Mexican saloon girl, a wife with child, and baddies who want a stage strongbox. Add the man who owns the county, rattlesnakes and black widow spiders and there's enough for a good short yarn.
Dag Enberg is a troubled man; a big, tough, rawboned Norwegian whose only claim to pride is that he’s the best damned man riding shotgun guard for Logan Cates’ stage line. Otherwise, he only knows bitterness … the bitterness of his past and its failures, the bitterness of knowing he can’t stay away from the bottle, and the bitterness of being in love with the wrong woman.
But a man like that can only be pushed so far. And if he’s pushed *too* far, all that’s left is for the bitterness to eat its way to self-destruction … or self-discovery of the real truth that lies at his core.
This is a tough, action-packed, insightful story of man dragged down nearly to the bottom and then fighting his way back --- for himself, for his family honor, and for the woman he truly loves.
This is one of Mean Pete’s best … and that’s saying a lot.
Strongly recommended!
