Gunman's Song

USA Today best-selling author Ralph Cotton is one of the finest Western novelists writing today. Gunman's Song is a fast-paced adventure story that begins with tragedy and is propelled forward by the raw lust for revenge. Lawrence "Fast Larry" Shaw is a notorious West Texas gunfighter who has taken to the bottle as of late. When he's out drinking and telling stories one night, a band of desperadoes raids his home, robbing and murdering his beloved wife Rosa. Now Fast Larry is wholly consumed by one fiery impulse-kill them, kill them all. Driven toward a deadly confrontation, Larry is given plenty of opportunity to live up tohis legendary reputation for lightning-quick draws. WildWest Magazine praises "Cotton's blend of history and imagination…OldWest detail and dialogue…" Gunman's Song features a bold reading by narrator James Jenner."[Cotton's] works incorporate…pace and plot in a language that ranges from lyric beauty to macabre descriptions of bestial savagery."-Louisville Courier-Journal
