"Trail of Madness takes the reader on a dark journey into the mind of the man who killed Wild Bill Hickok in a rip-roaring Western that smoothly blends fact and fiction into a gritty and compelling story."

"Michael Knost explodes into the Western genre with a tour de force, a gripping yarn that takes a famous historical event and undoes everything we thought we knew about it. Highly recommended."
Jeff Mariotte
Author of the Cody Cavanaugh western trilogy and cofounder of Silverado Press.

​​
"Michael Knost's Trail of Madness has more twists and turns than a sidewinder. A masterful mixture of traditional western, mystery, suspense, and the true-life account of one of the most notorious assassins in Old West history. It is frontier storytelling at its finest!"
