Rawhide Jezebel

Bolt #24

by Cort Martin

BOLT WAS A WANTED MAN... WANTED BY HIS FAMILY, THE LAW—AND BY A WHOLE LOT OF BEAUTIFUL WOMEN!Bolt suddenly finds himself in competition with a tough rawhide Jezebel named Jessie Belle when the madame buys up the land next to the Rocking Bar Ranch and builds a whorehouse called The Proud Peacock. From the start, Bolt suspects some wrongdoing, but can't prove anything until a pretty young woman named Clarissa shows up looking for her missing brother. She and Bolt exchange more than ideas as they get to know the intimate details of each other's lives. After a long discussion about the ins and outs of the whorehouse situation, Bolt decides to come to the aid of a fair lady in distress...But Bolt discovers more than he bargained for when he uncovers an illegal slave ring operating from Jessie Belle's house. Jessie doesn't want Bolt to stop her profitable sideline and opens up a less than neighborly argument with the gunman. After a few rounds he proves just who is boss in the territory. After all, no one pumps hot lead better or faster than Bolt!
