The Hired Gun

At the age of thirteen, Declan Bailey leaves Pine Mountain, Tennessee, to chase adventure across the untamed West.

From working the rugged railroads and perilous cattle drives, he forges a life for himself in an unforgiving world. But life in the Wild West often demands more than hard work. Declan becomes a hired gun - and a man haunted by his choices and hardened by loss.

From the early 19th century through to 1872, Declan's adventure takes him through towering mountains and sprawling plains, leading to a fateful confrontation in the Maricopa Mountains.

A story rich with the spirit of the Old West, THE HIRED GUN is the fifth book in the Bailey Clan Westerns series by Terence Newnes.
