Sun, 25 Dec 2022 19:57:01 +0200

When Jared Hawk helped the black gunman, Aaron Turner, bring in a wanted man it was one more job - a few extra dollars in his pocket. He didn't know he was riding into the hellfire center of a range war. Nor that he'd find himself on the other side, facing Turner over the blazing muzzle of a Colt. 45. But Hawk had a simple coded: kill first and ask questions later. If there was anyone alive to answer ...

The settlers at Rising Star just about had enough of James Hunter and his bullying ways. They turned to Jared Hawk to clean up their town. It took Laura Friedman to persuade Hawk to pin on their marshal's badge. When he did, he promised to deal with Hunter ... one way or another.

Or when he found out just who they wanted him to kill ...

Jared Hawk wasn't looking for a fight. Not until the marshal at Eagle Pass decided his woman was looking too long at the gunfighter, and threw Hawk in jail.
It was pure chance that the Kincaid gang chose then to raid the town. And the marshal made up his mind Hawk was one of them ... and decided to hang him.
Hawk got offered a simple choice: wait around for the rope or go after the outlaws.
Kincaid's men were mean. Natural killers. But so was Hawk.
He rode out to clear his name the only way he knew how... with a gun...

The hangman's rope!
Jared Hawk stank of death. It hung about him like gunsmoke and the sour smell of drying blood. He thought he'd take life easy for a while: enjoy whisky and women and nothing more. Leave his Colt .45 in its greased holster.
But things turned bad and he took a job riding herd on a prisoner due to be hanged. It should have been simple...
Before Hawk could earn his four hundred dollars and the hangman could settle his rope around the killer's neck, Hawk's gun was back in action and the stench of death hung in the air.

And Luis Brava took his revenge.
He left Hawk to die.
