Kill Town: A Classic Western Series

by Cotton Smith

From Spur Award-Winning Western author Cotton Smith comes the epic continuation of the Corrigan brothers' daring dream to tame the American West.

Agon Bordner is dead, and the ranch he cheated for has been handed over to Deed Corrigan and his brothers. But before they can get the Bar 3 back on its feet, Deed, Holt, and Blue must rebuild the town by buying the bank and appointing a marshal.

For a moment, peace looks possible for these three weary trail veterans—until guns start blazing. Seeking vengeance for their boss, eight of Bordner’s killers storm the town. They rob the bank, kill the marshal, and break the rest of their gang out of jail.

To save more innocents from slaughter, Deed and Holt hit the trail, planning vengeance the only way they know how, while Blue steps into the marshal’s role to guard the jail. But even with daring plans afoot, will the Corrigan brothers be able to protect the only place they’ve ever called home?

Join three rough ‘n’ tough brothers on a gripping journey through the untamed frontier, where courage meets gunfire and family bonds forge ironclad resolve. Buy your copy of this Western classic today!

About the author

Cotton Smith was born in Kansas City, Missouri; some would say a century later than he should have. He grew up enjoying both adjoining states, Kansas and Missouri, living mostly in Kansas. His ancestors fought in the Civil War, mostly for the South, as regulars and guerillas. As a young man, he learned to ride horses from a grizzled wrangler he remembers fondly. He also learned how to roll a cigarette then, too! "Looking back on it, he taught me the right ways around a horse -- and he taught me some other things too. Like swinging into the saddle with the horse loping. And springing up from the rear, like the movie stars did. Never occurred to me then that I could get hurt. Guess no young person ever does."

Early in life, he was also exposed to the ways of the Plains Indian, to their sacred ceremonies, customs and traditions. His appreciation for their spiritual connection to the land and all that occupied it was heightened by involvement with Indian friends and backed by extensive research. Both touched him deeply and can be readily seen in his caring -- and accurate--portrayal of Indians in his novels. Throughout his stories, one finds intriguing glimpses of this insight, giving readers a sense of what really was and why.

Superb of course!! The Corrigan brothers are awesome. I can hardly wait to read the three books Scott Smith did to finish Cotton’s outlines left when he passed.
