The Gunfighter

** Asininity is just your typical peaceful town in the Wild West – but it’s Marshal Barjack’s town, and around him, nothing stays peaceful for long. **

One day brings the meanest gunfighter in the West – nicknamed the Widowmaker – into town, and though he says he wants to live a quiet life, the whole town’s on the edge of their seat.

Who has he come to kill this time?

At everyone’s insistence, Barjack does his job to suss out what the Widowmaker really wants – but wouldn’t you the guy’s actually real friendly once you share a drink or two with him…

Trouble’s brewing in Asininity, and it looks like it ain’t coming from the Widowmaker.

It’s looking like Barjack may need to work together with the fearsome gunfighter to bring peace back to town – if such a thing is possible.

Praise for Robert J. Conley

“Conley portrays the rough and tumble frontier from the Indian point of view… Veteran novelist Conley works on three levels: murder mystery, frontier political potboiler, and the search for personal identity.” — ** *Booklist* **

“Conley [is] in the ranks of such writers as… Louise Erdrich… and W.P. Kinsella as literary interpreters of the Indian experience.” — ** *Sunday Journal-Star (Lincoln, NE) * **

“Conley [is] among the most productive and inventive of modem Western novelists” — **Dale L. Walker, *Rocky Mountain News***

“Conley speaks with a clear Cherokee Indian voice to show how his tribe’s cultural characteristics have survived centuries of abrupt change to give readers an understanding of the fullness and humanity of the Cherokees as a people.” — ** *The Cherokee Advocate* **

**Robert J. Conley** (1940-2014) was an acclaimed Cherokee author with over fifty books to his name, winning the Spur Award for Best Western Novel twice, as well as another Spur Award for a short story. He was also awarded the 2014 Owen Wister Award for Lifetime Contributions to Western Literature.
