Once more with a vengeance -- Rattlesnake convention.
Summary: "In the first, full-length novel of this gritty, fast-moving western duo, Once More with a Vengeance, Sheriff Ben Stillman finds himself in the unenviable position of having to arrest a young man for murder on suspicious evidence. But the cards are stacked against the young firebrand who calls himself Johnny Nevada. One, Johnny has gotten Judge Hoagland's daughter pregnant, shaming and enraging Hoagland himself. Two, Johnny warned Dave Bliss he was going to kill him because Bliss ordered Johnny to stay away from Bliss's daughter, Sarah, whom the young Casanova was also sparking. Johnny made the warning public and two weeks later Bliss was dead. Now Stillman has Johnny locked up in his jail at the courthouse. The judge wants to try the boy pronto and won't recuse himself though under the circumstances Stillman knows he should. The young man's luck is about to get even worse when unknown men ambush Stillman and try to kill the kid. Knowing that Johnny Nevada will hang at the very least, or get filled full of lead before he can hang at the very worst, Stillman does the unthinkable: busts his prisoner out of his own jail. In the novella Rattlesnake convention, Ben Stillman is on his way back to his hometown of Clantick after chasing illegal whiskey peddlers. He's eager to be back in his warm home with his wife and young child. But when he runs into a saloon owner who's been robbed and whose best whore has been killed, the sheriff of Hill County finds himself on the trail of two young thieving killers, with a hard winter storm bearing down"-- Provided by publisher.
