Wanted Dead
(2026)(The first book in the Eli Dallas: Gunfighter series)
A novel by J W Masterson and Paul L Thompson
Some legends refuse to stay buried. Others come looking for the men who tried.
Everyone believes legendary gunfighter Eli Dallas is dead. The bounty hunter who claimed the kill has been telling the story from one saloon to the next, collecting admiration with every lie he spins. But the truth has a way of riding into town when least expected, and Eli Dallas is very much alive. Older, wiser, and still faster than the men foolish enough to test him, he has no interest in proving himself. Unfortunately, a massive bounty on his head ensures that trouble keeps finding him anyway.
As word spreads across Texas, ambitious gunfighters, ruthless bounty hunters, and desperate killers all see the same prize waiting to be claimed. Standing beside Eli is the Fort Worth Kid, the young gunslinger he once mentored, along with the unforgettable three-legged yellow dog Trey, whose loyalty is matched only by his uncanny instinct for finding danger before anyone else. Together they ride from one deadly confrontation to the next, where every encounter could be the one that finally ends a legend.
Their journey soon brings them together with another formidable gunman, Silverjack McCall, whose hunt for the brutal Pascoe brothers becomes more than a simple pursuit of justice. As the three seasoned fighters follow a trail stained with murder, vengeance, and blood, old friendships are tested, reputations are forged anew, and the West once again becomes a place where courage is measured at the end of a smoking barrel.
Packed with classic gunfights, unforgettable characters, sharp humor, and the rugged spirit of the Old West, Eli Dallas, Gunfighter: Wanted Dead delivers everything fans of traditional Western adventures crave. If you enjoy larger-than-life heroes, relentless action, and tales where honor still matters, saddle up and ride with Eli Dallas on the beginning of an unforgettable series.
