Corrigan Brothers #2
Kill Town
“Cotton Smith turns in a terrific story every time.” —Roundup
Acclaimed Western author Cotton Smith tells the epic story of the Corrigan brothers, who will risk their lives to tame the American west . . .
KILL TOWN
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 fight to rebuild the town by buying the bank and appointing a marshal. For a moment, peace looks possible for these three weary veterans of the trail—until the guns begin to fire.
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 the jail. To save the town, Deed and Holt hit the trail, planning vengeance the only way they know how. Blue stays behind, stepping into the marshal’s role to guard the jail, as the Corrigans risk their necks to save the only place they have ever called home.
“Hard-eyed characters and six-gun action. Smith knows cattle drives and cowboy lore.” —Publishers Weekly
“Cotton Smith’s stories are centered around the wonders of the human spirit in overcoming life's obstacles.” —True West

About the author
Cotton Smith
31 books11 followersCotton 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.

Enjoyed it. The brothers all are strong characters and bring strength to the story. I will buy the sequel to see who killed the judge although I have a strong suspicion of who the next villain will be.

Great story!
This book and story is for those of us who grew up watching those great Western Hero's on our parent's television. Then went outside with you find and holsters on Saturdays and became those TV heros!

Yes to brothers, loyal and true. No to sudden new murder ending, and Holt's endlessly repeated superstitions.

Another installment of the Corrigan brothers. Lots of action and a very good western. We are left hanging at the end, which is good, because that means there is another book in the series!
