The Man From Boot Hill

DEATH IS HIS BUSINESS . . .

Nick Graves is searching for honest work, and making a living from the dead seems as good a job as any—perhaps better than most. He’s a man with a gnarled shooting hand and a dark secret, having weathered quite a few savage storms. Graves has chosen Jessup, Nebraska, as the town in which to establish himself as a funeral arranger and coffin maker. It appears he’s made a wise choice, as the law in Jessup is corrupt and people here tend to die quickly and often.

Owing to the vengeful, blood-hungry associates of a rightfully slain deputy and a depraved, knife-wielding killer, Graves’s business should be booming in no time. However, before he can get to that, he has some other matters to handle in this gritty little town—the kind that requires a gun. Ironically, it may be Nick Graves himself who needs to arrange his own funeral.
