Synopsis

The top dogs of bestselling western action thrillers hit the bullseye once again in the latest in a new series in which a disgraced lawman's quest for vengeance becomes a legendary fight for justice.

HE WHO LIVES BY THE GUN . . .

Shotgun Johnny Greenway thought he'd hit rock bottom when he lost his wife and son, hung up his badge, and hit the bottle. But a pretty young woman gave him a second chance. Offered him a job riding shotgun for the Reverend's Temptation Gold Mine. Gave him a reason to live. But even she can't save him when the Starrett gang tries to rob the gold—and Johnny kills their leader . . .

. . . DIES BY THE GUN

When the dust clears, Shotgun Johnny is wanted for murder. The dead man's father has powerful friends, including a town marshal who's Johnny's personal enemy. One wants the gold. The other wants the girl. Both want Johnny dead. With a $1000 bounty on his head—and half the county trying to kill him—Johnny's got to prove his innocence. Not in a court of law. In a trial by shotgun . . .

Interesting story. Although there are some areas, I just shook my head on how stupid the author makes some the characters. The main character, Johnny is accused of killing a rancher’s son. Johnny goes to the rancher to tell him he didn’t do it. Gets himself beat up by two heavyweight employes. But wa......more
