Book Description
Hawk knew all about death and trouble, and thats why he was a loner. He had a quick smile, a fast gun and a horse that had sense enough to turn its rear to the wind in a storm. He was a smart horse and that was more that he could say for some humans he had met lately. They all seemed to have one thought on their minds and that was attending his funeral and if a popularity poll was taken, it looks like he would have to hire pallbearers. In 1863, Bloody Bill Anderson and his outlaws stopped a westbound train just outside Centralia, Missouri. They stole the strongbox, which contained three thousand dollars, and executed twenty-five Union Soldiers. Hawk remembered his two brothers who were killed that day. As a small boy he tried in vain to comfort his mother who died a few months later of a broken heart. It was that day in the churchyard that he swore on his mothers grave that he would get revenge. Now his time had come and the trail of these killers had lead him to Frank James and Bob Ford and a question he may not live long enough to answer. Why was it that everyone who knew about the agreement between the Ford Brothers and the James Brothers, committed suicide, died mysteriously, or was murdered? Hawk knew he would have to find the answer to that question or die trying.

Book Description
Lawrence Shaw, aka Fast Larry, aka the Fastest Gun Alive, in this 4th book in the Gunman’s Reputation series, appears to have given up . . . but not just yet. First, he will take Rita Vargas to Willow Creek in search of William Bonney—the infamous Billy the Kid—who, unbeknownst to the Kid, is the father of her unborn child. On Shaw’s trail are gunmen hell-bent to leave him dead on the ground, not realizing that having people out to kill him might be the only thing that keeps “Fast Larry” alive. Lawrence Shaw had heard the thunder of horses’ hooves from the north trail long before the five riders slid the animals to a halt out front of the plank shack. He’d heard them stop suddenly, fifty yards away, and he’d pictured the riders sitting there discussing him in the pale purple darkness, deciding the best way to kill him. After a moment he’d heard the horses come forward again, this time slower, with stealth and deliberation. Oh, yes, they mean to kill me, Shaw told himself. . . . He did none of the things a man might do under such dire circumstances. Shaw had lost interest in such matters of life and death. They would arrive to kill him; but he would kill them instead. It was that simple. The matter deserved no deeper thought.
