Description
AND THE LAST SHALL BE FAST Lawrence Shaw once got a boost out of being the quickest gun alive. Now he's partial to telling gunfighter stories rather than living them. But that doesn't stop every ornery shootist with an itchy trigger finger from trying to pull iron on Fast Larry Shaw...or a group of gamblers from wagering five grand on who will kill him...or a gang of cutthroat saddle tramps from slaying his wife while in search of him. Racked with guilt for not saving his beloved, Shaw vows to shorten the life expectancy of her murderers-and any other hardcase who even thinks of sending hot lead his way.

Reviews"Gun-smoked believability...a hard hand to beat."-Terry Johnston "Cotton's blend of history and imagination works because authentic Old West detail and dialogue fill his books."-Wild West Magazine "[Cotton's] works incorporate...pace and plot in a language that ranges from lyric beauty to macabre descriptions of bestial savagery."-Wade Hall, The Louisville Courier-Journal
