Old Cowboys Never Die by William W Johnstone
They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks. But old cowboys? That's a different story -- especially when they're trail-hardened cattlemen who just got stiffed out of retirement by a shifty lawyer...From William W. Johnstone and J.A. Johnstone, legendary, bestselling masters of the classic Western with more than 50 million copies in print, the first in a rowdy new shoot-em-up series that proves old cowboys not only get wiser with age - they get bolder and crazier too...
After thirty hard years of chasing stampedes into storms and pushing herds of half-crazy cows across the plains, longtime buddies and cattle drivers Casey Tubbs and Eli Doolin are ready to hang up their spurs. But when they get to Abilene with their final delivery of two thousand cows, the company lawyer has skipped town with their crew's entire wages. That means there's just one last job Eli and Casey will have to do...
Steal it back.
Sure, pulling off a robbery is a new challenge for these old boys. But they've learned a lot of tricks over the years --and they're one hell of a team. Between the two of them, they devise a scheme to hold up the lawyer on the noon train and deliver the money to the men who earned it.
Except after pulling off the perfect crime--and getting away with it--an honest, peaceful retirement stops sounding so good. Casey and Eli start thinking they may have missed their calling in life. This could be the start of a whole new career . . . as outlaws.

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.'
