Kidnapping was a step up from robbery for the Le Duc Raiders - and risky too. But when they seize the stage bound for Tombstone and take their prize, they bite off a bit more than they could chew.
Gambler Jim Brandon wasn't haven't a lucky day either. Having fallen foul of Sheriff John Behan when, in self-defense, he killed a Chineseman. With not enough evidence to hold him, Behan gave him the ultimatum - to get out of town. He has no option but to comply and soon finds himself on the same stagecoach captured by the Raiders.The outlaw's prize is a beuatiful Mexican senora and they were expecting a handsome sum for her return. What they didn't bargain for was Jim Brandon teaming up with the Reverend Joshua Slate. Two seemingly opposite characters are thrown together to rescue the lady with the help of a young, lovesick outlaw.
Cards and Bible gives way to the law of the Winchester and Colt. Before the day is out, Tombstone reverberates with gunfire and more blood is spilt as Brandon and Slate are unable to walk away from the challenge.
TOMBSTONE SHOWDOWN is the first book in the series featuring Reverend Joshua Slate and gambler Jim Brandon written by the award-winning author, Mike Stotter (McKinney’s Revenge, McKinney’s Law). TUCSON JUSTICE is the follow-up.
