Helldorado - Paperback

by J. R. Roberts (Author)

If there's one thing Clint Adams can't abide, it's cold-blooded killing. So when some greedy claim-jumper lays low his old mining pal in Nevada's bushwhacker territory, the Gunsmith vows to bring the scurvy vermin to justice.

But that's not so easy in a corrupt boomtown like Helldorado. Gold-hungry prospectors and hired gunslingers are bad enough-but the sheriff from nearby Austin is even worse! That is, until Helldorado's shapely new mayor gives Clint Adams a shiny silver star... and a free rein to clean up the town-Gunsmith style.
