Better Than Dead

Ace Colton is a Lead Slinger, one of the last of a group of gun-toting modern-day Samurai who have dedicated their lives to shooting. On a routine job to find a bank robber, he finds the still-living severed head of a powerful wizard stuck on the end of a mop. It's just the latest in a crime spree that has the city reeling in disbelief as people who went missing suddenly turn up with larceny on their minds. As soon as the crime is done, the criminals fall over dead.
Worse: It's beginning to look like they were dead before they committed the crimes. And that leaves only one terrifying possibility.
Ace may be the best in the world with a gun, but what good are bullets against someone who can raise the dead? It's hot lead versus black magic in an epic thrillride.
