Bücher der Reihe Ethan Payne

It may be the twilight of the Old West but the sun's not about to set on Ethan Payne. The tough-as-nails gunslinger is still holding strong to the traditions that made him notorious. A new trade is giving him the chance to prove it-as a regulator for a Wyoming cattleman's association. But when an innocent man is killed, Payne's spirit dies along with him. Now it's the fearless outlaw who needs to be rescued. And Buffalo Bill Cody is the man to do it. A U.S. scout who rode out the Civil War in glory, Cody has become the Wild West's greatest showman. Now that he's got Payne in the act, it's only going to get wilder. The biggest draw Cody ever bankrolled, Payne is riding high once again. Especially when the tour takes him back to Chicago, and back to his first true love. But the past-like vengeance-never dies. An enemy has a score to settle. And to keep his last chance at happiness alive, Payne has to face the greatest threat of all. THE FINAL EXCITING BOOK IN THE ETHAN PAYNE TRILOGY, FOLLOWING FRONTIER ROAD AND TRAIL TOWN, WRITTEN BY THE BESTSELLING WESTERN AUTHOR OF CLASSICS LIKE TEXAS HELLTOWN AND THE OUTLAW TRAIL.

LOVE AND REVENGE ARE POWERFUL MOTIVES-POWERFUL ENOUGH TO MAKE A MAN OF THE LAW CROSS THE LINE. Ethan Payne has drifted across the rugged American West, aching to settle down. From the wilds of the Missouri to the jungles of Panama, he left his destiny to the gods, and left Gil Stark-his best-friend-turned-outlaw-to the devil. Now, acting as Abilene's fiercely respected marshal, Payne has finally found a place to stand tall. Until a woman in need of salvation triggers an impulse like a bullet to the heart. Addicted to life's sordid pleasures, Julie Cathcott has arrived, unwanted and unexpected, from Payne's past. To Payne, she's a woman worth saving. Even if it means crossing swords with the town fathers and being cast out forever from a place he called home. But the past isn't done with Payne. In the shadow of Miss Julie's own private hell, Gil Stark is waiting. Once fate plays these kinds of games, it can turn any man into a killer.
