Western

Tom Morse was young, but he'd already lived outside the law a long time. From the day his hand closed over the butt of a Colt .45, he blazed a trail of lawless violence over the frontier. Now, for the first time in his life, Tom had a chance to take a different path...he could square accounts with the law by going after a vicious killer...one that only Tom Morse knew well enough to catch.
