Bully McGrane

In Pistol Gap, a man can change his ways—and still end up dead.
Tud Drury has earned enough gold to leave his crooked past behind. He plans to marry Anna, escape the mining town that has scarred them both, and start again. But his three former partners have followed him into town, and they have no intention of letting him leave alive.
Watching the trap close is Bully McGrane, the massive, merciless marshal who rules Pistol Gap with his fists and his gun. McGrane believes an outlaw never changes. If Drury’s enemies kill him, that suits the marshal’s plans perfectly.
As daylight fades, Tud faces a desperate choice: save himself, or risk everything for the woman he refuses to abandon.
Ernest Haycox’s Bully McGrane is a tense Western story of betrayal, courage, and hard-earned redemption. For readers who enjoy dangerous frontier towns, ruthless adversaries, and explosive confrontations, it delivers a showdown with more at stake than survival.
