Gunfighter Summer: A Jeb Cassidy Western Adventure (Jeb Cassidy Western Adventures)

When gunfighter Jeb Cassidy rides into Laramie in the Spring of 1868, he finds that he has ridden into a hornets nest.Hired by a beautiful young widow to protect herself and her small daughter from the murderous intentions of the man who killed her husband, he soon finds himself drawn into a web of intrigue, murder and extortion that threatens not only the lives of those he is seeking to protect, but also his own and those of any who seek to aid him.The town itself is completely lawless, the streets made unsafe by warring cowhands from local ranches engaged in a range war, outlaws from the Hole In The Wall, and cut-throats and criminals imported by the newly arrived railroad. Respectable citizen's fear for their lives, staying off the streets and barring their doors at night. Cassidy soon learns that he will receive no help from the town's corrupt marshal, a notorious gunslinger suspected of multiple murders, including that of the husband of the woman he has been hired to protect.As tensions escalate and confrontation becomes inevitable, Cassidy must come up with a plan to both protect his client and permanently remove the threats to her life. He finds allies in unexpected places, bringing together ex-Confederate soldiers, local gunfighters and businessmen to fight the lawless forces threatening to tear the town apart.The bodies pile up as the battles spill into the streets, with Cassidy forced to use all of his skills with guns, his wits and his silver tongue to stay alive in the firestorm of violence that is released when his enemies commit one murder too many. Cassidy declares war on all involved, seeking not just vengeance but a final reckoning that will sweep the board clean.
