Hire a Gun

It should have been an arrest like any other for Yancey Bannerman. But when the whole thing blew up in Yancey’s face, the big, gun-swift gpovernor’s Enforcer found himself on a deadly manhunt. The body-littered trail eventually led him to a town called Socorro, and the murder of a good man that looked like going unpunished … until Yancey bought into it. Then, with one two brave townsmen to back him, he went against the Block L’s tough crew … and the very man he had come all this way to find—and kill.
