The Guns of Hanging Lake
by Luke ShortFrom a master storyteller of the Old West: A ferocious tale of murder, loyalty, and revenge set in a rough-and-tumble frontier town. Tony Braden&’s first sin was being an Englishman in the American West. His second was being rich enough to try and make a go of ranching. Those two faults were enough to whet the appetites of the fine citizens of Indian Bend, who proceeded to hornswoggle, ridicule, and outright rob the uncomprehending Brit for an outrageous amount of money. Then someone decided to finish the deceptive dance with a knife straight to the gut. No one blinked an eye when Braden died in a pool of his own blood. No one, that is, except Traf Kinnard. Braden had been like a brother to him . . . until the man stole away the woman he loved. Now she&’s in danger, and to protect her, Kinnard must find his old friend&’s killer—even if it means turning Indian Bend from a town into a cemetery. Luke Short, along with such legendary authors as Zane Grey and Louis L&’Amour, helped transform the stories of the American West from dime-store pulp into a respected and immensely popular literary genre. Guns of Hanging Lake is one of the grittiest and most suspenseful of his classic novels.
