Claude Guestman had the misfortune of being killed
by a bullet intended for U.S. Deputy Marshal Gideon Miles as he ran for cover
at the Bellows Hotel. At least Guestman got laid first by the whore Carlie who
is now running from her room and screaming as best she can. Marshal Miles won’t
be nearly so lucky if those chasing him have their way.
Marshal Miles is running out of bullets and rues the
fact that he ever came to Hell Town, Wyoming. The place is such a dump of a
town there is no local lawmen to deal with anything that happens. That meant it
was Marshal Miles who had to go after a gang of outlaws who, according to the
town’s madam Laurel Wedgewood, had cheated her out of a lot of money. But, instead
of fleeing, the gang had been waiting at the edge of town and they nearly got
him. A running gun battle has ensured with the bad guys pursuing him back to
the hotel.
Needing firepower and hoping the madam has at least
one weapon, Marshal Miles plans to barricade himself in her upstairs room and
hope for the best. Gideon Miles is no dummy and he is pretty sure she has
answers to give him even if she doesn’t have a weapon though no self-respecting
madam would be weaponless.
The latest in a long series of books featuring
Gideon Miles is another good one. Filled with plenty of action and a bit of a mystery
this latest western from Edward A. Grainger aka David Cranmer is another good
one. It opens with a bang and a break neck pace that is maintained from start
to finish. Well worth your time Hell Town Shootout: Gideon Miles Novelette
is a western that quickly pulls you in and does not let go until long after the
last page.
