Quick Triggers
Secrets can be deadly…
Brad Burton owed everything to Art Burton, the man who found him abandoned as a child, and gave him his name.
However, he was never allowed to forget that he had come from nothing, something that Marsh Burton, Art’s son, often beat into him.
When Brad loses his girl to another man, he volunteers to help track down cattle rustlers who have been raiding the neighbouring ranches.
When the hunt results in the death of a rustler and the arrest of the others, Brad returns home, only to find the fighting is not yet done, and that his life and reputation are both on the line.
And then things get even more complicated when the town lawyer reveals a secret from Art’s strong box.
The secret of Brad’s true identity…
With Quick Triggers and heavy gunsmoke, will Brad live long enough to find out who is behind the rustling and, more importantly, the truth about his past…?
