Banker Tern Jarvis wanted to be a Cattle Baron. He left Chicago and headed for Caldwell Springs, out on the Kansas plains. With the power of money at his disposal, Jarvis succeeded in forcing small rancher after small rancher off their lands. First Jarvis took the Lady B, then the Box R, and then the Leaning C, but when it came to the Circle M he was stopped cold in his tracks by a young widow, an old coot, and a mysterious stranger who was a fast draw. Jarvis hired the fastest gun in Texas to take the stranger out. It didn’t end the way Jarvis expected. The Gunfighter in Winter is the first in a six book series about the adventures of gunfighter, gambler and drifter, Jack Cordell.
