Outlaws of the West #33

Jeremiah Meade was just a twelve-year-old boy when Joe Bronz gunned down the man who raised him—but six years later, now a deadly quick shot trained by his mentor, Jeremiah finally tracks down the man who wears a ranger's badge. A young man torn between the gentle education he received from a kind neighbor and the lethal revenge he swore to deliver must face the moment of reckoning he's been preparing for his entire life.

When three hardened outlaws fresh from Arizona State Prison ride into Tombstone with trouble on their minds, Sheriff Luke Spade recognizes danger in their faces before they've even dismounted—and he's determined to keep the peace by any means necessary. What begins as a tense standoff over guns in a dusty street escalates into a full confrontation, forcing the sheriff to rely on his instincts and nerve to protect his town from a planned bank raid. Luke's quick thinking and steady hand prove that sometimes a lawman's best weapon is knowing exactly who he's up against.

Shark Benson forces the Masked Raider into an unholy alliance in Bushwhack Canyon, threatening his life unless he helps loot the territory—but the Raider has his own plans when the gang rides toward town to raid the bank. When the truth about his loyalty becomes clear in a hail of gunfire, the masked man must vanish before the law catches up to him.

A quiet ranger uses himself as bait to infiltrate the hideout of the notorious Kid Jackson, leaving a clever trail of nut shells for his backup to follow—but when a diamondback rattler forces his hand and his cover nearly cracks, he must rely on quick thinking and his lawmen allies to bring the outlaw gang to justice. "Strange Trail" is a taut five-page western that twists the undercover gambit into something genuinely suspenseful, with a payoff that earns its final reveal.
