Wolf Caulder would never forget the day of the train hold-up. The screaming... the blood-spattered bodies of the victims. He swore he'd hunt down the men who'd caused so much death and suffering. Now he'd caught up with the ringleader, who lay helpless a few feet away. Wolf grinned fiercely. The killer's scream rent the air as Wolf raised the Winchester ... and sent the sonofabitch to hell. William Cecil Knott was born in Boston, Massachusetts on August 7 1927.

Between 1967 and 1983, Knott was Assistant Professor (later Associate Professor) of English at the State University of New York. In his free time, he also carved out an impressive body of fiction, most of it in the western field. In addition to creating his own series, The Vengeance Seeker and Golden Hawk, he also contributed to the Stagecoach Station series (as Hank Mitchum), Slocum (as Jake Logan), Longarm (as Tabor Evans) and The Trailsman (as Jon Sharpe).
