Wayne Haley chafes under Morgan Gault's guardianship and drifts toward the Lost Dollar Saloon, where a confrontation with the Utah Kid sets him on a darker path—one that begins with betrayal and leads him down the outlaw trail alongside a smooth-talking drifter named Cheyenne. As Wayne's choices spiral from cowardice to murder to bank robbery, he discovers that the skills his guardian tried to teach him may be the only thing keeping him alive when the law catches up.

Al Jennings
1 pp · Non-Fiction, Biography

Al Jennings was a man of many lives—train robber, politician, informer, and ultimately evangelist—and his most notorious moment came when his testimony about government oil lands at the Teapot Dome hearing made waves around President Harding's administration, though his statements would later prove false. After realizing the damage his deceptions had caused, Jennings reformed and dedicated himself to preaching that crime doesn't pay, speaking from hard-won experience. This is the story of how a former outlaw found redemption and became a voice warning others away from the criminal path.
