Book Synopsis
Owen Wister Award winner Gordon D. Shirreffs spins tales of the old west that are exhilarating and bigger than life. You'll find two such full-length tales in this double volume sure to please even the most discerning consumer of Western fiction.In Arizona Justice, when Rowan Locke rode into Llano with a marshal's badge in his pocket and the iron will to bring back a killer, all he heard talk of was the terrible Donnigans, those five wild-tempered brothers who thought they were above the law.
In The Lonely Gun, Case Hardesty had to cross what the Conquistadors called the Devil's Highway on foot-or die. It was the highest, driest, meanest desert in northern Mexico. Hot on the trail behind him were the outlaws he'd taken for $20,000-and behind them the lawmen who had sworn death to the lot of them.
In one hand he held a Winchester, and in the other a salt sack stuffed with enough bills to buy a ranch in Sonora-if he made it. If he didn't, well, there was plenty of space for a grave out on the Devil's Highway...
"The joy of reading Shirreffs' work is in his mastery of pacing and his tough, gritty prose." - James Reasoner, author of Outlaw Ranger.
