Cemetery Jones and the Gunslingers
THEY CALLED HIM CEMETERY 'CAUSE HE PUT SO MANY MEN THERE.

Of course, Sam doesn't reckon on Denver gambling brawls, New York gunfights, Indians on the warpath, and bloodthirsty outlaws after gold in the hills of Montana...
But Cemetery Jones doesn't surprise too easy....

Reads like a Longarm novel without the sex which isn't a bad thing. The characters are well drawn and Sam Jones is a solid main character who wants nothing but a honest life but trouble seems to find him. Though he is well equipped to handle it hence his name Cemetery Jones, a name he doesn't like.
This is the first novel from William R. Cox, I believe I will try others. The prose is a little off but again the characters are solid and the story was interesting.
Recommended for western fans that need another writer to dive into.
