Description:
Trouble was brewing in a 20 year feud....It was 1881, El Paso, Texas. Several factions who had been at odds with each other were all converging in a nexus of killing in the streets of the new frontier town and in it’s nearby areas. The town at the Pass of the North held much promise as a place where fortunes could be amassed as soon four rail lines would converge there. However, Doc Manning and his notorious brothers and their cronies, the Hales, wanted to make their fortune the easy way- from liquor and opium to rustling, on the backs of others, and by women on their backs. There was a new marshal, though, in the form of the most feared gun-fighting Lawman of the day, Dallas Stoudenmire. He and his brother-in-law, Stanley “Doc” Cummings, and best friend, J.C. Rogers had been at war with the Manning’s for what seemed like an eternity and spanned half a continent. Now, in the burgeoning young Cowtown, it only remained who was standing at the end of the day. It was the appointed place and time for the eruption of the final battle. There was no other choice.

Reviews:
Four Dead in 5 Seconds has plenty of action, suspense, romance and intrigue, a little something for all readers. This is a fine western novel in the best tradition of Zane Grey and Louis L'Amour. Spellbinding and just plain fun!
If you like a fast-moving plot, with likeable (and a few unlikeable) characters, you will really enjoy this book. I found it hard to put down and started to really care about the people of the story. Take a chance on this book--you will not be disappointed. Even if western novels are not your thing, this is a great story and you will enjoy the journey.
