In 1880, Ah Puch, an evil Mayan god, is determined to take over the State of California and turn it into his own personal empire. Vagabond barber turned lawman Miles O’Malley is determined to stop him. Along the way, Miles is frequently distracted by run ins with everything from shipwrecked ghosts to sea monsters to little green men in flying saucers. To further complicate his life he is befriended by some very sexy fallen angels who can cause him even more trouble. The west was never this wild!
The Devil Draws Two eBook David B Riley Laura Givens
Miles O’Malley would be the first to tell you he’s not very bright and kind of naïve and that his horse Paul is smarter than he is.He’s not a very good barber either.
Yet, as he wanders about the West circa 1880, he manages to tangle with vampires, time travelers, Susquatches, a robot, Martians, ghosts, demons and best them through some mix of charm, a lot of luck, and some fine shootin’ courtesy of a special revolver.
Which brings up Miles’ mighty peculiar circle of friends and acquaintances. There’s Nick Mephistopheles who gave him that gun. Miles doesn’t just pay a call to Hell to meet Nick. Miles also goes to Heaven.
There’s Molly Madison, intrepid female reporter and fellow boarder at the same San Francisco rooming house as Miles. Wing Ding, Chinese laundry owner and smuggler, tags along for a few adventures.
Miles gets a lot of carnal attention from Mabel and Janus. They’re not fallen women but fallen angels.
And there’s crazy Angel, who’s not an angel, and Major Franks and Judge Hastings who keeps having Miles arrested to interrogate him about his many adventures.
That’s because Miles keeps running into the Gray Army, a bunch of diehard Confederates who want to cause an Indian revolt in California and take it over.
But they’re not the real problem.
It’s their boss: Ah Puch, the Mayan God of Death. He’s got a grudge against Nick and the world in general. (And he’s not the only Indian god showing up.)
Miles tells a good story more on the humor than suspense side.
All three stories are rather episodic in nature. I suspect they were fused together from short stories to make three novels rather in the manner of Aaron B. Larson’s The Weird Western Adventures of Haakon Jones, a novel Riley holds highly. (Yeah, the titles are even similar.)
There’s even a crossover appearance with another Riley series character, Grumpy Gaines, Texas Ranger.
I’ll definitely pony up cash for more Miles O’Malley stories.
And, nope, I don’t know why it isn’t titled The Devil Draws Three.

The Devil Draws Two eBook David B Riley Laura Givens Reviews
Full of great characters. Very good. Miles O'malley is a great reluctant hero. The story kept me interested, with wonderful new characters popping up throughout the story. Very good.
I really enjoyed this book. Good humor, fun stories, just fun to read. Didn't give it a five because it was really repetitive, even if mostly intentional, and there were some spelling and grammar mistakes that will annoy the nit pickers.
Mr. Riley is a master of the weird western genre and this omnibus of three Miles O'Malley stories doesn't disappoint. From his super intelligent horse, to dealings with the devil himself and vengeful Mayan gods, the action doesn't quit. The character, who likes to stay in 'otels, starts as a barber, who is as terrible at cutting hair as he is at making coffee, constantly gets fired because he's so bad. With an easy going attitude, he moves on from job to job until he ends up in California cutting hair for the Captain. Along his journey he keeps encountering angels, fallen angels, Death himself-who has a drinking problem-and all sorts of crazy situations that keep you turning the pages. I highly recommend this weird western to any lovers of the genre.
