Outlaws of the West #31

Tuttle Todd executes a perfectly planned bank heist and flees into the remote Badlands to escape the pursuing lawmen, but his desperate need for human companionship—and his inability to survive alone in the desolate wilderness—sets him on a collision course with capture. As the fugitive outlaw circles endlessly through the barren landscape seeking anyone to talk to, his own loneliness becomes the very trap that undoes him.

Tom Purdy fights back against the railroad tycoon Enos Slater, who cheated him out of his ranch and turned him into an outlaw—sabotaging tracks and standing up to every gunslinger Slater sends his way. When the ruthless magnate brings in his fastest gun, Leo Gibbs, to finish Purdy once and for all, the desperate rancher must decide whether to draw or stand his ground. The townsfolk who've prospered from the railroad's arrival finally see what Slater's ambition has cost one man, and they choose a side.

A gentleman outlaw with a deadly calm and a soft voice has been robbing miners across Bonanza Gulch, and when suspicion falls on the newly hired marshal, a ragged swamper named Wilton steps in with unexpected cunning to clear the lawman's name. But Wilton's true motives run deeper than simple loyalty, and his mastery of disguise may be the perfect cover for the very crime he claims to be solving. Watch as the town's assumptions unravel and the real criminal's plan comes into focus in this sharp tale of misdirection and hidden identities.

A deputy trailing the outlaws Sloane and Lutz finds himself exhausted and vulnerable in the desert—but when the criminals capture him, their long-simmering hatred for each other becomes his only lifeline. As the two turn their guns on each other instead of their prisoner, the deputy sees his opening and seizes control of the situation.

When outlaw Jodey Burke and his gang need a hideout in the Oklahoma badlands, they force old Jesse Dooley—a former gunfighter and sidekick to Burke's father—to shelter them while the FBI closes in. What begins as cruel mockery takes an unexpected turn when Burke's twisted sense of humor leads him to challenge the aging Dooley to a gunfight, unaware that the old man's skills have barely dulled over the decades.
