'Buck Halliday was a sudden man with a gun. That’s why Judge Cowper, of Shimmer Creek, hired him. The judge wanted a man named Jason Henley killed. Henley, he said, had taken over the town, lock, stock and barrel, and now he expected every other businessman to pay him protection money.

'Halliday had killed men before, but he wasn’t a killer for hire.  Still … maybe he could convince Henley that it might be better for his health if he made dust and headed for someplace else.

'Trouble was, Henley had more lives than a cat. And to get to him, a feller first had to go through his pet gunman, the notorious Rafe Murchison.

'It appeared to Halliday that he was really going to earn his money on this job.'

'The old man and his lovely niece Hope were in big trouble. The local land baron, bully-boy Aldo Latimer, wanted their ranch – at any cost.

'But what made the old Clayton place worth so much to him? Why was he willing to try every dirty trick in the book to get it?

'All Dick and Hope Clayton knew was that they needed protection … and when Buck Halliday rode in, they figured they’d found it.

'Halliday wasn’t looking for gun-work right then, but he liked the old man, and there was something about Hope that got under his skin and made him think it was time to settle down. So he signed on.

'But the stakes were so high that soon, Halliday wasn’t sure who he could really trust – not old Dick, not Hope …  and certainly not his arch rival, Aldo Latimer’s hired gun, Rees Mann.'

'Buck Halliday fled the town of Pardoo after being falsely accused of murder. In his haste to avoid a lynching, he strayed from the main trail and ended up in a desolate valley with a bad reputation. They said plenty of men had ridden into the nameless valley, but none had ever returned.

'It wasn’t long before Halliday discovered why.

'Almost before he knew it, he was fighting for his life against a vicious clan led by a madman named Masterson, and his only hope of salvation lay with the very posse that was trailing him, and determined to make sure he kept his date with the noose!'

1 y separately published work icon Fury of the .44 Adam Brady , Wiltshire : Black Horse Westerns , 2019 20962300 2019 single work novel western

'It was drought country. The land was little more than dust, the cattle slowly but surely dying on the hoof. For most of the ranchers in those parts, it had been a year-long disaster. But for local businessman Harp McPhee, it was a situation he aimed to exploit for all it was worth.

'Knowing the drought couldn’t last forever, McPhee aimed to buy the land and the stock at rock-bottom prices, and he brought in a bunch of hired gunnies to back him against any opposition.

'The situation seemed hopeless. And yet banker Finch Rogan had an idea that his old friend, Buck Halliday, might be able to challenge McPhee and his army of gunslingers.

'Halliday didn’t want trouble. But the settling of trouble was how he made his living. So he tied down his .44 and came to deliver salvation to a town called Redemption.'
