Um þessa hljóðbók

Robert J. Randisi is the best-selling author of The Gunsmith series of Westerns, with over five million books in print. Gunman John Locke, one of the best shots of all time, is as notorious as he is renowned. Whether paired with a sixgun or a rifle, John's trigger finger spells instant death-and anyone foolhardy enough to cross him had best stay out of his sights. Now he's been hired to serve as the master of ceremonies at the hanging of Ignacio Dellgado, a bandit leader and wanted terrorist. But on that fateful day, John is bushwhacked by Dellgado's gang!
