NO NAME ON THE BULLET

“Twenty-four "victims" had died before his lightning draw...until he came to the quiet town that had marked him for death!”

When hired killer John Gant rides into Lordsburg, the town's folk become paranoid as each leading citizen has enemies capable of using the services of a professional killer for personal revenge.
