The Guns Of Salmon Flats: Bonnett Series #3

The Slash W Ranch owned by Dan Whitley lay between the big ranches of Tom Synder and Jason King who were determined to have it. All their efforts to buy him out proved futile. It was Johnny Synder, Tom's youngest son, who decided if it couldn't be bought with money, he would take it with guns. He led the group of five men on the night they brutally murdered the Whitley family and opened up the ranch for his greedy father. The foul and wicked deed was laid to others, and the murderers rode the range free. No one in Salmon flats knew that Dan Whitley's wife was the Bonnetts' kinfolks. They came from the mountains of Tennessee and Carolina, and to them, family ties were sacred. A mysterious youngster sent a wire from the town to Two Bluffs, Colorado. Two Bluffs was the last given address of Billy Bailey, whose mother was also a Bonnett. The range had been running green for the killers until one day strangers began showing up in town. Strangers with low, tied down guns, and a family account to settle. Only three came; but if more were needed there was at least a hundred scattered between the Mississippi and California. Before their business was finished the range would be stained crimson, and the death of the Whitleys avenged.
