JIM SADDLER by GENE CURRYGene Curry was a pseudonym used by Peter J. McCurtin—born in Ireland on 15 October 1929, and immigrated to America when he was in his early twenties.The Jim Saddler series returned him to the gritty first-person style of narration that made the Carmody books so distinctive. Of the seven books that comprise Saddler's adventures, however, four are little more than straight re-writes of Carmody novels; A Dirty Way to Die (Tough Bullet), Wildcat Woman (Screaming on the Wire, with Jessie James' daughter replacing Billy the Kid's brother), Colorado Crossing (Hangtown) and Hot as a Pistol (The Killers). Of the rest, Yukon Ride is particularly notable, in that Saddler has to transport the body of a dead judge from the Yukon border to San Francisco, with surprising results..

Jim Saddler was down to his last buck in a cathouse in Jackson Hole when the infamous Butch Cassidy and his boys stormed in. The outlaw, looking for a reliable gun, pressed Saddler into joining up. Saddler was in no position to refuse—especially when Cassidy took him along to the gang's impregnable Hole-in-the-Wall hideout. Once there, Saddler found the good side of an awkward situation: the presence of more than a few unattached women eager for attention. |

Dragoon Wells was just another dusty, two-bit road-stop as far as Jim Saddler was concerned. That is, until he discovered the town's two main attractions—the seductive Laurie McLandress and the fiery Kate Flannery. Either girl was more than enough for any man. Then, almost before he knew it, Saddler found himself pinned with a deputy's star and the impossible job of saving the town was renegade Peyton Ballard and his Mexican pistoleros. Saddler had been through dangerous times and beautiful women before—and he knew that when you put the two together, someone is likely to die! |

Liz Kelley was the orneriest hellcat Saddler had ever run into. But he liked the money her millionaire father offered him to bring her home, and he loved the way the sexy spitfire tried to fight him. The only problem with his plan was her desperado boyfriend. Before he knew it, Saddler had the outlaw hot to put him six feet under, and the wildcat heiress even hotter to gun him down—between the sheets or anywhere else. |

When Jim Saddler first laid eyes on Jessie James, he thought she was a boy. On closer examination, he realized that he'd made a big mistake. Jessie was all woman, sweet as a prairie flower and deadly as a mountain lion.
Jessie claimed to be the daughter of the late outlaw Jesse James. She had a crazy scheme for picking up his career when he'd left off—and that scheme included Saddler! |

They called her Angel, but she was a devil in bed, as Jim Saddler found out when he sampled her favors at Miss Molly’s New Orleans bordello. When he awoke, he found that his Angel had flown—and so had his gambling winnings of five thousand dollars.
His search for the money and the girl led him into more danger than he could possibly have imagined. He’d have to be quick on the draw and fast on his feet if he wasn’t going to wind up on Boot Hill.
