Crooked Games: A Balum Series Western #9 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798508497354)

It's a long road to Cheyenne, especially when riding with a broken arm, cracked ribs, and a head wound. If those were the extent of Balum's worries he might just grit his teeth and keep moving. But behind him are four men intent on killing, and ahead of him a traveling carnival show full of crooks and conmen, all of them heading to Denver where they plan to fleece Balum's friends with their crooked games.

And then there's the gun. The wrong gun. All his life Balum has worn a Colt Dragoon revolver. But that's gone, replaced by a weapon with a different weight, a different feel, a different balance. The longer he wears it, the closer he brings himself to death.

In such dire straits he makes his way through backward towns, where deadbeat sheriffs test his patience, lustful women attempt to seduce him, where a shot of whiskey sits just around the corner, and where a good plug of tobacco is a prize hard to come by.
