Turnback Creek
ByPublisher Description
The second in the acclaimed Widowmaker series follows legendary gunfighter John Locke as he is hired to guard a payroll wagon stuffed with cash…only to find himself on the wrong side of the law.
When John Locke is offered a job to ride shotgun on a payroll wagon bound for Montana, he jumps at the chance. Now he has the opportunity to reunite with his old riding partner, former marshal Dale Cooper.
The old friends are eager to hit the trail together, but the going is not easy. There are outlaws in the shadows, ready to pilfer the loot for themselves. Once they get to the ramshackle town, the trouble really starts, as the pair must make a perilous trek to the remote mining camp itself, with death lurking behind every boulder and crevice.
Armed with hot lead, cold steel, and an iron will, Locke and Cooper know that in this fight, there will be no winners—only survivors. But Locke soon learns that the true danger lies closer than he thought.
