Fiction.
Western.
HTML: The gallows are going up in Canyon Gap and wild-spirited Leo Carver is going to swing. A known troublemaker without an alibi, Leo certainly had motives for holding up the stage and killing two men, yet he still proclaims his innocence. There's a lot of folks who want to believe him, because although Leo Carver is a hard-living, free-spending maverick, he is the kind of man the West needs. But as an angry mob forms outside the jail demanding a hanging, a beautiful woman is asking questions--the kind that could uncover a smoking shotgun--and a twisted motive for murder. .No library descriptions found. |

The short story is, well, short, crisp, and entertaining. The longer one is more detailed with fine descriptions of the locales, some interesting characters, and is equally entertaining. The foreword adds to the fun by bringing out the quirks of the much loved author and his prose.
This one is a little packet of fun, designed to lift the reader's spirit. ( )
