Domestic Tranquility

By Will Tate

A lifetime of adventure as cowhand, gunman, soldier and indian fighter kept "Kid" Hackett busy for a lifetime. Now he's enjoying his retirement, running the hotel he owns with his young wife Katie. When a guest turns up dead, justice demands that the killer be found. Sheriff Jack Carter recruits his friend Kid to help solve the crime. Kid's lifetime of experience with violence and his eye for detail makes him a valuable deputy. But sometimes justice conflicts with other values, and Kid isn't sure he wants this one solved.

DOMESTIC TRANQUILITY

By Will Tate

My day started with a bang. I woke to hear someone hammer the door again, then fumble with the doorknob. That gave me time to grab my revolver from the gun belt hanging from the headboard. Katie burst into my room, flinging the door open to crash against the wall. She was flushed with alarm, her face almost as red as her hair. Kid! Kid! There's trouble downstairs!
