Gunfighters #51

When Pa Frawley's cruelty pushes his son Onions too far, the simple farm boy sets out seeking revenge against the ranchers he believes shot his father—armed with little more than a gun, fierce determination, and an unmistakable smell that precedes him into town. What unfolds is a collision between frontier justice and a boy who knows nothing of gunfighting except that he wants blood, told with the raw energy and dark humor that defines the West's harshest lessons.

Chaw Peck wasn't always a killer—he was a small rancher until the powerful Bradley spread burned him out, taking everything, and left him with nothing but a hunger for revenge. He teaches himself to be a gunfighter, methodically tracking down those responsible, and his reputation grows as he drifts from town to town hiring out his gun. Now in Biscuit, Kansas, the aging Chaw considers taking on a partner named Franklin Kane for a job that requires two men—a chance encounter that might pull him back from the long, lonely road his vengeance started him down.

Franklin Kane never wanted to be a gunfighter—but after an instinctive draw saves his life in a saloon brawl, his reputation spreads across the frontier faster than he can outrun it. Forced into gunplay he never sought, Franklin finds himself drifting from town to town, his gun hand earning him a fame that isolates him from the peaceful life he craves. As his legend grows, he discovers that being the fastest draw in the West comes with a price far steeper than any bullet.
