Description
Where the Backshooter Waits is set in the town of Castle Rock, where Stuart Dawson has a confrontation with his brother Matt. For some time now Matt has been gambling away all the profits from their ranch. Stuart cuts Matt off, stating he wont pay another gambling debt. So when Stuart is ambushed on the range, but only grazed, he believes Matt was the one who made the attempt. Stuart rides into town only to find that Matt is already in jail, accused of murder and robbery. Is it a conspiracy in which both the Dawson brothers are the victims? In Lone Rider, J.W. Regal, on his deathbed, wants to make sure his unofficially adopted son, Lew Stark, will inherit the great ranch they have built together. There isnt time to make a formal will, so Regal has his second wife, Leona, witness the scrap of paper on which he states his intention. Leona keeps this a secret. Without a will, she gets half of the .45 Ranch, and the other half is divided equally among Regals four biological sons, all of whom hate Lew Stark. Confronted with this formidable opposition and knowing Regals intentions to leave the ranch to him, Lew stubbornly decides to hang on and fight the heirs with the same determination J.W. Regal demonstrated while building up the .45 Ranch in the first place, even though he will certainly have to do it alone.
