A SMALL TOWN BECOMES THE BATTLEGROUND FOR A VERY DEADLY FAMILY FEUD. WELCOME HOME, KID When Jim Dunn, better known as the Kid, rode into his old home town of Cairo, he figured he'd have to shoot fast. He figured they'd remember his saloon-wrecking sprees and hell-raising exploits of old. What he didn't figure on was finding his father six feet under and his brand-new stepmother running the family ranch with an outlaw crew.

But the Kid had swapped lead with the best of them in the three years he was freewheeling around the West. And when his best friend catches a bullet that was meant for him, the Kid gets mad. Real mad. Three-time Winner of the Spur Award Wayne D. Overholser Author of "Law Man" and "The Violent Land."
