Tanya's Revenge at Santo Pozo: The Devil's Pass Series
P.W. Burroughs

The Civil War has recently ended. The great state of Texas has been swamped by Union soldiers, the so-called “War-Wanderers” who, in hopeless desperation, maim, rape and murder their way North to escape the firing squads and return home to the safety of their families.
Many have reached Pecan Township, and the inhabitants are deathly afraid of them. Reports of multiple rapes and atrocious crimes by the abandoned soldiers are adding-up daily—nobody stands in their way.
Tanya South, a young widowed mother of two, has been hardened by her rough upbringing when her husband, ex-Lieutenant Daniel South, is brutally knifed to death by a wandering soldier on the run. Tanya sets out to find his killer and help him save his soul—with the gun in her hand.
The action starts when a murdering wanderer, Jim Stiller, a blue-uniformed soldier on the run, looks over his shoulder and realizes he´s being trailed… Will she manage to complete her mission—or will she die like her husband?
