Western Fighters #7

In "Gun Lingo," marshal Fred Bowers finds himself stalled by the law when the federal attorney refuses to issue warrants against the dangerous duo of Cal Draco and Larson. With no legal path forward, Bowers turns to a sharper kind of justice—using the very language of the frontier to turn the two outlaws against each other. As tensions rise in the dusty streets of a frontier town, old grudges and new lies ignite a powder keg neither man sees coming.

When a young boy named Jimmy Diamond shows up at the Illinois Southern train station with a gun and a grudge, engineer Jim Burns is stunned—this is the godson he never knew he had.
