Dead for a Dollar by William W Johnstone
Johnstone Justice. Making the West wild again.Keeping the peace in a West Texas town like Buffalo Peak should be easy for a legendary frontiersman like Marshal Elwood "Firestick" McQueen. He's got his longtime buddies "Beartooth" Skinner and "Moosejaw" Hendricks as his deputies-not to mention the famous rifle that earned him his nickname. But when Firestick learns that their ornery old friend "Rip" Ripley just rode into town, all bets are off. It's darn near impossible to keep the peace when Rip's specialty is disturbing it. Firestick finds a decade-old wanted poster for Rip-the reward is one dollar.
Firestick uses it to toss Rip into the clink till he decides to leave town. But Ripley's still up to his old tricks-he has a new gang of cutthroats coming to Buffalo Peak to steal a king's ransom in gold in the town bank. Firestick, Beartooth, and Moosejaw become pawns in what just might be the heist of the century. Because Rip's kill-crazy pals will have to bust him out of jail first...
Being the all-around assistant, typist, researcher, and fact checker to one of the most popular western authors of all time, J.A. Johnstone learned from the master, Uncle William W. Johnstone. He began tutoring J.A. at an early age. After-school hours were often spent retyping manuscripts or researching his massive American Western history library as well as the more modern wars and conflicts. J.A. worked hard--and learned. Every day with Bill was an adventure story in itself. Bill taught me all he could about the art of storytelling. 'Keep the historical facts accurate, ' he would say. 'Remember the readers, and as your grandfather once told me, I am telling you now: be the best J.A. Johnstone you can be.'
