Phantom Gunslinger
In Deadwood, you may lose your life. In Old West World you could lose your soul.
Someone is coming for Nick -- and maybe his sister and all the girls who ever helped him solve a case. When Nick, Wendy, and Kat get trapped in Old West World on New Year's Eve, Nick realizes someone is gunning for him. But who is this masked man and why does he want to face Nick in a show down on Main Street?
Chased by a psychotic wolf dog, Nick finds trouble at the Graveyard Gulch Gold Mine, tumbles into a crypt at Digger’s Undertaker, and becomes trapped on a train trestle with the Black Beauty's cowcatcher bearing down. With a group of teen girls hiding in the Holy Ghost Church, several of whom prefer Nick drop dead, he summons all the courage he has and flunks pew plate target practice. Out of options and time, he walks into town to face the mysterious man dressed in black.
Will Nick learn why the phantom gunslinger wants him dead before he leaves Old West World in a pine box? In this middle-grade mystery suspense, award-winning author Eddie Jones takes readers on a Wild, Wild, West ride to the peak of a snow-covered Georgia mountain, only to learn that doing the right thing may prove too high a price.

Old west at it's best
This was real fun. I had to read over some of the earlier sections to fully grasp what was happening. (I may have entered the series late) But I was a boy again as I traversed the interesting pages.
Well written and creative, the characters were likeable and overall the author did a good job.

Certainly not only fun for kids!
Great imagination, writing, plot and characters. I'm enjoying this writer and his adventures. My kids have passed their Mr.
Jones books to me and I guiltily enjoy them.

If you have a tween that doesn’t like to read but enjoys westerns and adventure, this book is worth a try! It was filled with adventure and has a great flow to it that keeps the reader interested and engaged! Characters were likable and the story was entertaining!
