Synopsis

They call him Suicide, Smoke or simply Sudden Death. His name is Kit Gordon, and from the banks of the Mississippi to the shores of the Pacific, he is King of the Gunmen. Now he's about to discover that it takes more than a quick draw and a sure aim to stand up like a man. Falsely accused of murder, Kit escapes to the next county over — and a whole new identity. But drawn into a bloody feud, before it's over he'll have to reveal that he's a wanted man — or turn tail and run for his life. Feel the heat rising off of the Arizona desert and a blazing Colt .45 as the audio version of King of the Gunmen takes you into the land of prickly pears and deadly gun fights.
