Dead Ringer - Paperback

by J. R. Roberts (Author)

Wanted for bank robbery, kidnap, and murder: the Gunsmith

Some low-down snake's stolen Clint Adams' identity-copied his walk and practiced his quick hand with a gun. And the villainous impostor looks a damn sight like Clint.

He wants to tear down the Gunsmith's reputation for honesty and fair play... and make sure his name stands with the most hated outlaws in the West.

But the murderous varmint doesn't just want to destroy Clint's good name. He also aims to see Clint dead-brought to "justice" by a posse, strung up by a lynch mob, or gunned down in a showdown between the real and the fake
