Hired Gun - Pernell Purell

Pernell Purell was a hired gun that some claimed had a draw faster than the eye could see. When he turned to whiskey and beer, he became downright mean and impossible to control. He'd been hired by an unknown client who'd left a letter and money beneath the door of his hotel room, with instructions to go to the town of Lost Bend and initiate a gunfight between himself and a rancher by the name of Tom Holly. The reason? The client wanted Holly's ranch, cheap. But, Purell soon learned that not everything is as cut and dry, black or white, as life sometimes leads you to believe. Not long after reaching Lost Bend, he realized that Tom Holly was better as a friend than another notch on his gun. When Tom's daughter is murdered by her husband, hired by the same man who wanted the Holly ranch, Purell finds himself putting his guns to a different use-bringing justice instead of hired death.
