The Revenge of Florida Jack
By Haycox, Ernest
In the lawless expanse of the Old West, a vengeful halfbreed sheepherder, Florida Jack, schemes to ignite a deadly feud between two formidable men—rancher Jim Kitchin and sharpshooter Belisarius Tuggs. With cunning and cruelty, he manipulates whispers and lies, setting the stage for a violent showdown in the dusty streets of Woolville. But revenge is a double-edged blade, and Florida Jack’s treachery may seal his own fate before the gunsmoke clears.
