About this ebook

A man haunted and changed by war—whose fingers are equally skilled in the arts of music and death—Mason Hawke has found a new home in Braggadocio, Nebraska. But a dustup in the local saloon has forced his hand, and now two bodies lie lifeless on the dirty floor—a situation an unscrupulous cattleman plans to use to his advantage.

Like Hawke, Clint Jessup is running from his past. But Jessup's sins turned him hard and greedy—and he's willing to drain bone dry a town that's trying to build a future, if it puts an extra dollar in his pocket. The blood of a drifter named Mason Hawke is going to oil his money-making scheme. But it doesn't matter how many killers he sends Hawke's way, because the target plays by his own rules: draw first, shoot fast, and keep watching your back.

Hard to stop reading. Finished it in two sessions, neat twists, great combination of history of the post US civil war travesty and the old west, plus an unusual sophisticated cowboy with genteel skills and big heart. LOVED IT...looking for more

It was a good easy read, somewhat in the vein of a L' Amour western. I enjoyed the characters, showing their flawed human side, and the use of Civil War vintage weapons. Had a tough time putting it down and look forward to reading more of Vaughan's Hawke series.
