Book Description
First in an action-packed Western series from the great-grandson of famed US Marshal Rooster Cogburn and two-time Spur Award–winning author. With a bag full of gold dust, Newt “Widowmaker” Jones is set for life. Then he makes his first mistake, trusting a cheerful stranger. By dawn the stranger—Javier Cortina, the son of the famous Texas border bandit, Juan “Red” Cortina—is gone. So is the gold. So are Newt’s horse and even his fearsome Colt .44. It’s enough to make a man want vengeance. And vengeance will be Newt’s. Newt chases Cortina into Mexico, where the man is legendary for the horses he’s stolen, the women he’s bedded, and the men he’s killed. As for Newt, he has a unique talent for choosing the wrong partners, from an angry, addled judge named Roy Bean to a brother and sister pair of circus folk, Fonzo Grey and Buckshot Annie. The more Newt pursues the cunning and deadly Cortina, the angrier he gets, until somewhere on the border the whole crazy journey explodes into an all-out battle of bullets and blood . . . Praise for Brett Cogburn “The familiar ambiance of the Western is kept fresh in Cogburn’s sure hands.” —Historical Novel Society “Fans of frontier arcana will revel in Cogburn’s readable prose and lively characters.” —Publishers Weekly “Cogburn amazes and astounds.” —Booklist
