☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free# Western True Crime #6 The issue contains at least two stories: "Dallas" Stoudenmire, a marshal who pursues a drunk gunman through the Old West, ultimately shooting him and adding his name to the honor roll of peace officers; and a tale of cattle rustlers and border bandits, where a character named Robert crosses into Mexico after stealing cattle and a substantial sum of money, planning to play poker in a Texas saloon while evading both Mexican troops and American cowboys pursuing him across the frontier.
When a stranger named "Dallas" Stou arrives in El Paso with ambitions to become marshal, he discovers a town run by a corrupt sheriff and his criminal allies who'll stop at nothing to protect their illegal operations. As violence erupts during a rigged trial and prisoners make their escape, Stou must use more than his reputation—and his quick draw—to restore law and order to a community that's been living in fear. This true crime western pits one man's fast shooting against a web of corruption that runs deeper than anyone expected.
Jackpot Jessie—the beautiful, heartless con artist known as the Denver Decoy—comes to the Lucky Load saloon in Montana with her criminal partner, setting up an elaborate scheme to fleece the town's men at cards and on the road. When a lawman catches wind of the pattern and hatches a plan to expose her, Jessie's quick thinking and ruthlessness put her on a collision course with justice that neither her wits nor her partner's guns may be able to escape.
"Shotgun" Roberts is a cowardly deserter from the Civil War who turns to outlaw violence, building a reputation as a ruthless killer who preys on the defenseless and outnumbered. After fleeing east with fellow deserters, Roberts leads a brutal campaign of horse theft, rustling, and murder across Texas and into Mexico, staying one step ahead of the law through deception and bloodshed. This is the true crime tale of how a man's cowardice bred a trail of innocent bodies—and whether justice will finally catch up with him.
