Frank Leslie was in Silver Gulch when he spotted gunfighter-lawman Clay Halser, a frontier legend. It was to be Halser's last day.

When he died, gunned down by a nervous boy, Leslie found Halser's journals. They held all the adventure one could hope for -- breathless escapes, shoot-outs, a full confession of life on the razor's edge.

But no glory and romance. Instead we find that Halser's life was adrenal, turbulent...and deadly.

"What you might call a dark western. Deflates the glamour of gunfighting, but keeps us alert and entertained from start to finish." (B-O-T Editorial Review Board)
