Deadly Day in Tombstone
About this ebook
Texas John Slaughter fought on the blood-soaked battlefields of the Civil War. He drove thundering cattle across a dangerous frontier and faced the deadliest outlaws as a Texas Ranger. Now he faces the toughest challenge of his hard-driving life—as the sheriff of Tombstone.
Enticed by the richest poker tournament the West has ever seen, hordes of cheaters, con artists and cardsharps are flocking to Tombstone. Texas John already has his hands full when a local Romeo takes off with a rancher’s daughter and draws the ire of her father and a blood-thirsty posse.
Back in town, a murder shatters the poker tournament, with a beautiful Englishwoman as the prime suspect. To set things straight Texas John will need every bullet he can muster, aim straight, and shoot to kill. And kill again . . .
