FAITH AND A FAST GUN BY CHAP O'KEEFE

COMING FROM BLACK HORSE WESTERNS JAN 2010 - A NEW WESTERN FROM CHAP O'KEEFE. PREORDER NOW


Riding into trouble was a habit with ex-Pinkerton detective
Joshua Dillard and his sentimental journey to a mission
graveyard in Texas proved no exception. Guns blazed and
chips flew off the headstones as he intervened to save a girl
called Faith from the clutches of Lyte Grumman and his
gunhawks.
Joshua learned that Grumman was a ruthless cattle baron
who’d lost a thousand head of longhorns in what he
reckoned was a rigged poker game. Grumman was intent on
recouping his loss, whatever it took. . . .
Buying in on Faith’s behalf, Joshua soon found his skills
with a Colt Peacemaker to no avail against superior numbers
and a deadly tangle of inopportune passions and doublecross.
Then a grim past and a frightful present turned Faith’s
hand insanely against all men!

And don't forget our O'Keefe competition HERE

And speaking of the £100 comp here's another clue:
Savvy trackers are moving in on a place called Enfield.

The cover guy looks like Lee Van Cleef. Accident? I doubt it.

Many thanks for your cover for the cover, Gary!

I enjoyed several aspects of writing this book -- it's the eighth Joshua Dillard story and has lots of fast-paced action. The story moves from the south (San Antonio, Texas) to the north (Butte, Montana). It was very informative, researching the backgrounds for these contrasting places.

Good luck to anyone planning to enter the competition. With the five clues put together, and some savvy googling and clicking on links, the £100 should be YOURS!

I too thought Van Cleef when I saw this image - I like it though. It could almost be an old Adam Steele painting.
