Description

In this western in Ralph Compton's USA Today bestselling series, a man's shot at the bigtime might be the shot that kills him... Outlaw Wes Cavanaugh knows that crime doesn't always pay-at least not much. That's why he and his partner, Mose, are willing to pay Jimmy Stock for information on a job that's guaranteed to pay off big. Jimmy's made a career of selling tips to bandits, but the job he sells Wes-a payroll train about to leave Omaha-requires more than information. It requires a straight shooter who can hit targets from a long distance away...and in the outlaw business, even a straight shooter can't be trusted.
