Jim Walters was a shootist who was out of a job. He got a job offer from an old friend that turned out to be shadier than he could stomach. This is the story of how he rescued a widow and her daughter and cleaned out the town of Bloody Gulch. There is a minimum of dialect to give flavor to the dialog, but the 10 chapters should be easy to read. This is a standard Western with no gimmicks and minimal sex.
