Showdown in Rio Malo

by J. R. Roberts

Overview

Clint Adams' old pal Joe Bags has gone and got himself elected sheriff of Rio Malo, a town trying to turn respectable. But when the killing starts, Joe learns that there's more to being sheriff than pinning on a tin star.

Suddenly the whole town's turned yellow. And the only ones with any guts are three misfits who sign on as deputies--one of them's still wet behind the ears, another old enough to be his granddad, and the third's just too damn pretty for her own good...

But the Gunsmith figures that any help is better than none, as Rio Malo gets ready to explode into a dusty hell of blood and bullets...
