Cemetery Jones 5: Cemetery Jones and the Tombstone War
()
About this ebook
Tombstone was fast becoming one hell of a mess when Bat Masterson and the Earps asked their old pal Sam “Cemetery” Jones to lend a hand. There was a man a day getting killed, the notorious Clanton gang raising hell, Apaches on the warpath and a legendary outlaw called Ringo looking to put Cemetery Jones six feet under.
But Cemetery wasn’t one to refuse his friends, even if it meant going up against six-shooters, raiding Indians, and a cold-blooded killer out gunning for him. It was a mighty good thing Cemetery didn’t scare too easily because the showdown at the OK Corral was just the beginning in the war zone called Tombstone.
