Ralph Compton Broken Rider by John Shirley

Ralph Compton Broken Rider by John Shirley

In this exciting new Ralph Compton western, a man without a memory meets an unforgettable ally: the one and only Bat Masterson.

Riding into the town of Smoky Hill on a mangy mule, Dane looks as broken down as his old mount. He's unshaven, his hat is ragged, his boots are tied together with leather thongs, and he wears a barely recognizable Union officer's shell jacket missing most of its buttons. He wouldn't know what to say if you asked him where he got the blue jacket. He can't remember. He doesn't know if Dane is his first or his last name. Something happened that cost him much of his memory, and he can't remember what that something was. He does remember some battles. Bits and pieces, at least. But he can't remember who he fought beside. Or much about the war at all.

With the help of deputy sheriff Bat Masterson, Dane will try to recover his memory and find a new life -- assuming he can outrun his past.
