King Colt

A master storyteller of the American frontier presents a western about a town that could not be tamed—and the vicious things men will do for gold.

Picket-Stake Hendry has spent thirty years roaming the Calico Mountains in search of gold. Finally, in a lonely little canyon far from civilization, he strikes the mother lode, and as soon as he gets home to register the claim, he'll be a millionaire. But before he can make it to Cosmos, a bandit attacks him.

Cosmos sheriff Johnny Hendry prefers playing cards to fighting crime, and he's kept the peace in this rough-and-tumble western town by letting bandits do whatever they want. But when he hears that Pick, his adoptive father, has been murdered, he vows bloody vengeance. For the sake of the old prospector, he will clean up Cosmos—or die where he stands.

This incredible story of frontier justice from author Luke Short, winner of a special Western Heritage Trustees Award and the Western Writers of America's Levi Strauss Golden Saddleman Award, is a classic of the genre.
