Dead Man's Walk Lee Martin

Eli Cole has been on a trail of vengeance for ten years, ever since his parents and bride were murdered by the Cassidy Gang. One by one he has tracked down his enemies, and he has come to be known as The Hunter, the fastest, most fearless gun in the West. Now, just one killer remains at large: Tom Cassidy, the gang's leader. Eli does not know what Cassidy looks like or what alias he may be using now, but nothing will deter him from finding the man. At long last, rumors bring him to Yellow Creek. As Eli doggedly pursues his search, the people of Yellow Creek see a golden opportunity.

For the first time in ten years, Eli Cole finds himself thinking about his future. But as he gets more and more involved in the life of Yellow Creek, Tom Cassidy is closing in on him...
