博客來First in the Tales of the Old Wild West series by prolific western author Doyle Trent.
In the tradition of the John Wayne classic westerns and legendary television series Gunsmoke and Bonanza.
The Wild West. If the elements, rattlers, coyotes, and Indian’s didn’t kill you...the person sitting next to you in the saloon just might...just for the hell of it. This series is presented as self-contained standalone story novels that do not have to be read in any particular order. It gives readers an entertaining glimpse into what individuals from all walks of life encountered as they traversed the untamed western landscape seeking fortune, glory, a new start, or keeping one step ahead of the law behind them.
DEALING DEATH IN CRIPPLE CREEK!
Bill Turner’s ambition was to become a doctor and save lives-not to take them. But when he received a telegram from a place called Cripple Creek from his brother that he had struck gold and asked for his help, Bill made plans to set aside his ambition and join his brother. But then he received another telegram several days later informing his brother was dead at the hand of bushwhacking claim jumpers.
Determined to find answers and punish his brother’s killers. Bill Turner headed west, strapped on his dead brother’s dead gunbelt and set out to bring justice to the mining community. But the big men in Cripple Creek were dead set against Bill Turner’s ideas of fair play, and there was only one way from him to convince them-at the end of a smoking Colt .44!
