Slaughter time

New Mexico Territory is no stranger to bad men. But south of the border, on the wild Mexican coastline, is another kind of wicked: a murderous Arab with a ship full of stolen women—to be sold as sex slaves in the four corners of the world. Among them is a missing local schoolteacher Shawn O''Brien has been searching for—a woman with a past she''s kept carefully hidden. Now Shawn, along with a half-mad bear hunter and a professional hangman fight their way to the coast for a blood-soaked battle between the slavers and the US Navy.
