Official synopsis Publisher
No man walks away . . . For years, there have been none better at the trade than buffalo-skin hunter Kerry Barran. But he’s taken part in too much killing — of beast and man alike — and now he wants to lay down his gun for good. But the hunter’s got powerful enemies in Otley Creek — and a “partner” who’s unhappy about Kerry’s refusal to finish one more job. If teaching the stubborn loner a lesson means breaking his bones, then so be it. In a town owned by his adversaries — with a ruthless gang of toughs on his tail — Kerry Barran’s going to need all the help he can muster. And he’s found it in the most unlikely with a dapper English dude and his sister . . .with a Texas gunslinger . . . and with a whip-wielding hellcat who goes by the name “Calamity.”
