Rafe
Rafer Allard was a bank robber. A very good bank robber. It was a career choice that greatly pleased him and his every intention was to keep it up as long as he could run to a horse and spur it away. That was until a late afternoon in Tumer, Kansas, when two bullets in the back and a man named Peter Stone irrevocably changed his life forever.

About the author
Frank Roderus
96 books7 followersFrank Roderus wrote his first story—it was a western—when he was five. It was really awful, as might be expected, but his mother kept that typed and spell-checked short story tucked away until the day she died.
Later, Frank became a newspaper reporter, thinking that books are written by authors which he most assuredly was not. He kept trying to write though, and eventually did it wrong enough to learn how to get it right. That first sale, a young adult novel published by Independence Press, was more than thirty years and a good many books ago.
As a journalist, the Colorado Press Association awarded Frank Roderus their highest award, the Sweepstakes Award, for the best news story of 1980, and the Western Writers of America has twice named Frank recipient of their prestigious Spur Award. Frank passed away at age 73 in December 2015.

One of the best stories I've read this year.
From bank robber to almost dead. Given a second chance, salvation, and an opportunity to right his wrongs. Highly recommended for all readers. One of a kind good story from a different perspective than I've read before.

An FR Western About Outlaws/Bank Robbery/Being Saved/Pittance
FR had penned a western novel about a young man who has robbed banks most of his adult life only to be betrayed by a new partner who happened to be the younger brother that was shot and filed leaving a bank. The leader is mortally wounded, but is saved by a preacher and recovers. This is an excellent read for the genre.....DEHS
