The Gunsmith #422
Deadly Ambush
Clint Adams and Kate Avery hit it off from the start. She was all woman, with a particularly lusty appetite for The Gunsmith.
Then Kate was shot dead right before Clint’s eyes, and he vowed to scour the town of Hancock, Arizona, until he found her killer and discovered why someone, somewhere, wanted her dead.
On the surface, Kate had appeared been a simple businesswoman who ran a hat shop. But as Clint dug deeper he found that a far dirtier business—and even dirtier sex—might be at the bottom of the murder. With the aid of a beautiful saloon owner and a dedicated lawman, Clint set out to nail the killer before he could strike again.

WHY SHE LOST HER HEAD
We all like "The Gunsmith," he's a smart cookie. This particular adventure kinda left it's impression
on him..he's a lover of women, but not when they literally lose their head..This adventure illustrates more of his detective skills, you know the whom, whats and why'd..
His sexual encounters, doesn't seem to be in the safest aspects. I wouldn't be surprised if later on down the road he's introduced or meets the results of his unions.
But then he wouldn't be "The Gunsmith," if he didn't bed the curious ladies. He's a "pistol." Sorry just couldn't let that go...😎
