San Lomah Shootout

Fourth 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. TARGET FOR DEATH

When "Slim" Jim Kinslow drifted into San Lomah all he wanted to do was find a job stompin' broncos. He sure didn't want to get into a gunfight-hell, he didn't even own a gun. But a few days after Jim started breaking colts for John Holcomb, four hardcases suddenly rode over the hill and Jim knew they hadn't come to admire the view when they started filling the air with hot lead. Someone wanted him out of town dead or alive, and when the same four gunslicks tried to turn him into buzzard meat on a dark trail several nights later he was sure of it. Jim didn't know why anybody would want to stretch out his hide to dry, but there was only one way to find out, and that was to strap on a borrowed six-gun and ride to a showdown that would end in death or glory at the San Lomah Shootout.
