Supernatural Western!

Story revolves around a killer for hire who just may be the devil or the devil's advocate, the good guy is the local saloon owner/bartender instead of the usual harness maker and gunsmith that Lauran Paine is so fond of writing about, a very good book even though I am not a fan of the supernatural genre, this all takes place in and around Calabasas, New Mexico, and unlike your typical western there is no rancher's lovely daughter, Rourke the saloon guy is an older man like as in many of Mr. Paine's stories, I understand that Mr. Paine wrote as many as 1000 books with 900 or so published, you should be able to say that writing was his life. I have read most of Zane Grey, Ernest Haycox, Luke Short, Peter Dawson, Louis L'Amour and William Macleod Raine's books, I don't think that I will be able to say the same of Lauran Paine, he wrote under many other names which you can look up under a.k.a. on the Lukol search engine.
