When Legends Die - Paperback

by J. R. Roberts (Author)

Sometimes the burden of a legend weighed heavy on a man...

For Clint Adams, his reputation as the Gunsmith had a weight as real and constant as a six-shooter. There were times when he wished he could just uncinch it like his gunbelt and lay it aside. But he never reckoned he'd meet a gunslinger who could relieve him of the deadly burden.

And then Johnny Robak found a way to separate Adams from his legend-with a bullet.
