Publisher Description
"Unparalleled in evoking the gritty reality of the Old West" (Shootist), Johnny D. Boggs mixes adventure and realism with a torrid storytelling style all his own. In The Killing Shot, Deputy U.S. Marshal Reilly McGilvern is hauling criminals to Yuma when his prison wagon is attacked, and McGilvern is left locked inside to die. When another outlaw gang comes upon the scene, McGilvern thinks he's lived to see another day-but his problems are just beginning.

“The Killing Shot is a Western in the classic sense, full of living, breathing characters and boasting a story that never sags. If you’re tired of watching John Ford and Quentin Tarantino films on Netflix, pick up this book.”
