Shotgun Johnny

The top dogs of bestselling western action thrillers hit the bullseye once again in the latest in a new series in which a disgraced lawman's quest for vengeance becomes a legendary fight for justice. HE WHO LIVES BY THE GUN . . . Shotgun Johnny Greenway thought he'd hit rock bottom when he lost his wife and son, hung up his badge, and hit the bottle. But a pretty young woman gave him a second chance. Offered him a job riding shotgun for the Reverend's Temptation Gold Mine. Gave him a reason to live. But even she can't save him when the Starrett gang tries to rob the gold-and Johnny kills their leader . . . . . . DIES BY THE GUN When the dust clears, Shotgun Johnny is wanted for murder. The dead man's father has powerful friends, including a town marshal who's Johnny's personal enemy. One wants the gold. The other wants the girl. Both want Johnny dead. With a $1000 bounty on his head-and half the county trying to kill him-Johnny's got to prove his innocence. Not in a court of law. In a trial by shotgun . . .

Johnstone Country. Where the Dead Sleep Cold. HAVE COFFIN, WILL TRAVEL On his latest bullion run for the Reverend's Temptation Gold Mine, Shotgun Johnny crosses paths with three desperate strangers. One is an old man. The other is his daughter Dixie. The third is the old man's son, Jake Teal, a bank robber who's wanted dead or alive. Thing is, Jake is already dead-stuffed in a pine box on his family's wagon. Now every bounty hunter in the state is after his body . . . BRING OUT YOUR DEAD Johnny feels bad for the grieving family and agrees to escort them to Pueblo for a proper burial. Of course, no good deed goes unpunished. A sudden snow storm turns the trail into a frozen hell-but that doesn't stop the bounty-hunting devils who want to cash in on Jake's corpse. Some of them think Dixie knows where he hid the cash from his last bank job. Or maybe they're really after Johnny's cargo of gold. Either way, they all could end up dead on arrival . . .
