The Gunmaster

by Ray Hogan

Aaron Ledbetter, fastest gun in the West, was trapped by U.S. 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.
