The Gunmaster

by

Ray Hogan

Aaron Ledbetter, fastest gun in the West, was trapped by US Marshal Sam Back, who had a reputation to maintain and a kidnapping to solve. So they made a deal - Ledbetter's life in exchange for Melanie Feak and her $5,000 ransom. Ledbetter had twenty-four hours to find the kidnapping gang and the missing girl. Twenty-four hours to play the deadly doublecross that would win the Widowmaker his freedom - or cost him his funeral.

Ledbetter is caught between a rock and a hard place in this suspense-filled story. Given the choice between prison and rescuing a kidnapped girl from killer outlaws by U.S. Marshal Sam Back, there is no choice to be made. The gunman known as the Widowmaker rides out after staging an escape into the jaws of what could possibly be his own death. 

Ray Hogan delivers another gripping, fast-paced tale filled with suspense, memorable characters, and subtle twists waiting to be uncovered. While certain moments may feel predictable, the story remains engaging and thoroughly enjoyable.
