Описание книги

Worn down by years of hard living and violence, aging gunman Jon Stoudenmire is on his way to find solace at his vineyard in California. His last stop along the way is a raucous mining town far out in the Sonoran Desert. Short of ready cash, an old friend asks him to stay on as acting Sheriff and he agrees. Jon soon discovers that a local man, wealthy Englishman Alex Faraday, is on a mission to take over the prosperous outpost. Smitten by beautiful saloon owner Elizabeth Thompson, a target of Faraday's wrath… Jon is pulled deeper into the fight. When a county commissioner is brutally murdered, Jon suspects Faraday and the sparks begin to fly. The desert town is shaken to its core when the hard-hitting Sheriff, aided by his legendary anger, attempts to blast the community free from the grips of the vicious Brit and his hired guns. About the Author: Armed with a vivid imagination and a love for the gun fighting days of the old west; R B Conroy developed and conceived his main character Jon Stoudenmire. The resulting story is a unique and compelling tale about a charming and violent gunman in the turbulent days of America’s early west. As Devil Rising goes to press, R B is hard at work on the sequel. He lives in Leesburg, Indiana with his wife Cheryl.

The Heart of a Gunman

.....

An angry Jon wanted revenge, but he knew he had to be careful with these two. Fuller sounded like a pretty hard case and was reportedly good with a gun. The younger man sounded nervous and kind of jumpy. He was the one who shot Jack. In a tight spot he would more than likely shoot first and ask questions later. His kind was predictable - trigger happy and very dangerous, but predictable. The older man would be less nervous and more calculating.

The two men had settled in and been quiet for some time when Jon decided to move out from behind the bushes and cross the creek to the other side. Jon had to be careful, both were packing rifles as well as six guns. Jon moved over and looked up at an opening in the brush at the top of the steep incline. He dug around in the bank for a foothold, and found some fairly good size rocks pushing out from the bank about half way up. He placed his boot firmly against the first rock, reached up and grabbed hold of a protruding root. He leaned back and pulled to see if the root would hold his weight. Nothing broke loose so he decided to go for it. He fell back again and pulled hard on the root. With a mighty effort, he yanked himself up to the next rock. Another root became visible on a higher rock. Jon grabbed hold of it and pulled as hard as he could again. His body flew up and out of the dark creek bed. He rolled to a stop on the ground above the creek. He quickly scanned the area to get his bearings. Jon spotted some large rocks approximately forty yards away near the water, close to the area where he had heard the young man’s voice. He moved toward them, careful not to alarm the trigger happy youngster. Jon stopped and listened for any sounds. Not hearing any, he moved quickly and quietly over to the base of the rocks. Jon dropped down on one knee and leaned against the large rock. His head jerked back as something flew by his face.
