When I was younger, going back about a decade (plus 3), I read a series of books. I cannot, for the life of me, recall or discover the name of the author, the books, or the series. Though I have searched high and low, I have been found wanting. So, reliant as I am upon TRF for my social fulfillment (haha) I figured, hoped, theorized that someone here abouts might know something helpful, something that might ease my plight.
The genre - Western.
The Hero, a drifter sort with a mysterious past. He comes upon a town, spends the course of a novel there-in, maybe two, and moves on (or so I seem to recall) though the focus of my reading seemed to have him in one area. He rights wrongs, establishes a sense of morality and justice backed up by the formidable force that is him.
The thing of it is this... the books were purchased for me by my grandmother, an upstanding and morally guided Christian which leads me to believe that the series was probably carried and distributed by some sort of similarly inclined publishing house. Each novel itself was larger in dimensions then your average paper-back and had taller pages.
Of the story I can say only that the author, as I recall, had achieved some acclaim for his work in the field previously. And for some strange reason I'm inclined towards words and phrases like "the Outsider", "the Drifter", or even "the Cowboy" when attempting to recall the title of the tale.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Oh, and the covers were done in the style of Romance novels which is to say, strong in pastels and obviously rendered from actual pictures turned image art.
Thanks.
