THE GUNSMITH GIANT
RED MOUNTAIN
A Gunsmith Giant Edition
ย Clint Adams answers a mysterious request for helpโbut now he just might be the one in trouble...
When things get quiet, Clint Adams doesn't take it easyโhe starts going stir crazy. That's how he found himself in Ouray, Colorado. A mysterious, unsigned telegram requesting his help in exchange for $1,000 was just enough to get him to leave Texas for this muddy mining town. But the moment he steps foot in the place, an unarmed man is shot dead...and he's got the Gunsmith's name in his pocket.
Clint's unwittingly landed himself in the middle of a town full of rival mining companies, gunslinging miners, and their lustful wivesโwho all want a piece of the Gunsmith, for one reason or another. Like the stunning Gloria Augustus, the boss's insatiable wife, and a reclusive foreman who goes by the name of Frank Howard...but who Clint knows to be Frank James, the late Jesse James's brother. Things are getting heated with such mixed company, and if the person responsible for this invitation doesn't come forward soon, the party is over...
