This collection includes both previously-published and all-new material: THE MIGHTY PECULIAR INCIDENT AT MUDDY CREEK-What starts out as something simple as a train failing to stop winds up as something mighty peculiar indeed. CLOCKWORK CHLOE-Bert Tillory can get any woman to say yes, but who is he really looking for? POSSE-Sometimes when riding down a fugitive, it's hard to tell who's the hunter and who's being hunted. HANGING THE MAGICIAN-It's one thing to capture the most notorious horse thief in the West, but quite another to carry out his sentence. ALL IN-How high can the stakes truly get for a single hand of poker? SPRING LOADED-Love and revenge, clockwork-style. All this, plus an original cowboy poem and a preview of the novel PARIAH'S MOON!
