Book Description

THE WIDOWMAKER MEETS HIS MATCH Spur-Award winner and bestselling western author Brett Cogburn—great grandson of the ledgendary Rooster Cogburn—continues his high-octane Widowmaker Jones historical western series. THEY CALL HIM “THE CUTTER” Famous for his fancy bowler hat, striped shirts, and double-holstered revolvers, Kirby Cutter is no ordinary gun-for-hire. He’s a cold-blooded professional. The best of the best—and the deadliest of the deadly. Which is why one of the nation’s biggest silver companies hired him. His latest job: To locate a silver claim in the Colorado mountains—and eliminate the competition. His biggest obstacle: The silver is guarded by Newt “The Widowmaker” Jones, a legend in his own right. But Cutter has a wild card up his fancy striped sleeve. His hatchet man is the outlaw Johnny Dial, who’s itching to slaughter Jones for killing his brother. It’s not the only showdown Widowmaker Jones has to deal with. A crazed grizzly is prowling the area, too—and it’s developed a taste for human flesh . . . One way or another, someone is going to meet their maker. But it sure as hell won’t be the Widowmaker . . . Praise for Spur Award winner Brett Cogburn “Fans of frontier arcana will revel in Cogburn’s readable prose and lively characters.” —Publishers Weekly on Rooster “Cogburn amazes and astounds.” —Booklist
