Six Ways of Dying

by Lewis B. Patten

What makes a man a killer? Is it born in a man, or is it made out of the circumstances of his life?
Pa Doniphan had two sons, FLoyd & Cash. They were big and strong, and handled their jobs well. But their outfit was engaged in a bloody range war, and the blind hatred of one of the brothers erupted in al lits fury against the rival bunch -- and against his own father.
It wasn't until after their foreman had been gunned down that, on a day neither of them planned, the two brothers met face to face. Then, in one shattering moment, one of them was to savor the bitterest of victories. [from the back cover]
