Out of the Dark

by F. Eugene Barber

The story revolves around a simple robbery of a gasoline station in the high desert hills of southern California. A young woman has forgotten to watch her gas gauge--she ran out of gas. She is thrust into the middle of the station robbery and is kidnapped. She has a harrowing experience and is taken first to the mountains near Big Bear, hidden in a cabin, and then to the Mexican border; an easy read, full of suspense, but with a bit of romance to smooth out the story.

Abandoned: Along The Grand Canyon

by F. Eugene Barber

The Great Depression was at its peak. The rancher, his wife, and four children just barely eked out a living. This story takes the reader from almost the start of the Great Depression to a couple of years after World War Two — the hard times, the good times, the sadness, and the happiness. This story is based on true events. The author knew the main character personally. The names, locality, and dates were all changed—of course.

The Flycatcher

by F. Eugene Barber

There was a gunshot — Edwina tumbled down the stairs. The man dropped the pistol from his gloved hand and ran for the car. Alice saw him and ran as well. She had left the engine running. They sped off into the darkness. The old Buick peeled rubber at the curve.

"What have you done Kenny?" He was ashen and shaking.

Not Necessarily Murder

by F. Eugene Barber

The bodies of Barbara Hansen and Steve Lytle were discovered in an upscale apartment in New York City by the night security officer of the large complex. A long, sharp object and been used – they had died instantly. Alvin Hansen used his key card and unlocked the front door, entered the bedroom, and blacked out. His wounds inflicted when the terrorists attacked the aircraft carrier still bothered him. Particularly the head wound. The doctors at Bethesda insisted upon seeing him every three months. He awakened and found himself on the floor – he saw the two bodies. Al fled to the West, hiding out on his family's old ranch in Arizona. The police searched to no avail.

The story is suspenseful, with a surprising end – a must read for both murder mystery and modern western fans – an unusual combination of both genres.
