When Portly Ben Rousterman tried to hold up the Third National Bank, he paid for the mistake with his life, and roiled the far west Texas town of Gunfighter's Gulch.

Into the story with a fierce indifference ride the principals:

• Raccoon Jack Carter, big game hunter with an oversized personality and a powerful thirst for avenging his fallen brother.

• Sheriff Darren, the overweight, poor-on-the shoot sheriff with the massive wife must contain the trouble before it gets out of hand.

• Hiram C. Cort, president of the Third National Bank who has ambition, drive and plans-all of which may be thwarted by an infestation of owls.

• And lovely Lacy Halverson, the prettiest girl in Gunfighter's Gulch, under a constant barrage of marriage proposals, and maybe the only one who really knows what happened to Portly Ben.

All these characters and more in one hilarious night of bullets, dancing, fowl and water as the gunfighting gunfighters collide in Gunfighter's Gulch.

"At first I was mad at Sam White, when I shot coffee out my nose after he caught me off guard and made me laugh out-loud. I loved the book and I don't normally read 'smoke burners', as I call them. If you want to travel back to the old west, and then laugh when you step out of the saddle, this is your book! WARNING - Do not read while drinking coffee." --Steve Sederwall, Cold West Investigations
