The Bad Men of the West series puts its own spin on the lives of real Old West outlaws. The first book, Butch Cassidy: The Lost Years, picks up with an aging Butch Cassidy who survived the famous shootout in Bolivia and returned to the American West under a new name. The following entries, A Dangerous Man and Forty Times a Killer!, take similar approaches with other legendary figures from frontier history.
Published between 2013 and 2014, this short three-book series is a good pick for readers who like their Westerns grounded in actual history, even if the plots take plenty of creative liberties. Each book works as a standalone story with its own protagonist, so you can read them in any order.
