Longarm in Deadwood

Longarm #45

by Tabor Evans

THEY'RE VOTING TOMBSTONES IN DEADWOOD...

...and the U.S. Government census takers sent to investigate are dropping like flies in the hardscrabble hills of the Dakota Territory.

Assigned to ride shotgun on a new census, U.S. Marshal Long teams up with the West's most famous lady gunfighter, Calamity Jane, and uncovers a dynamite-loaded plot cooked up by greedy mining czars and crooked politicians. Longarm and Calamity take their own census, and by the time they're through counting heads, some of them aren't breathing!
