I Shot the Sheriff (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798701973242)

A work of fiction inspired by those who lived and died in The Old West, where justice, revenge and love collide during a remarkable journey in the year of 1899.Sheriff Smoker is no longer a lawman by title or deed. Just a man, bewailing the life he had lived and the woman he left behind more than twenty years earlier, trying to undo the one great mistake of his life.When he retires in 1899, aged sixty, Smoker makes the long journey from Amarillo to San Francisco to see Bella Watters, the most famous opera singer of her time - and the only woman Smoker had ever loved - give her farewell performance. Had it not been for a chance meeting in Deadwood and the cold-blooded murder of Wild Bill Hickok in '76, there would be no story to tell and no life-changing secrets to uncover. Old paths cross and new adventures begin as The Gambler, The Bounty Hunter, The Prostitute and the infamous Wilcox Train Robbery threaten to destroy everything.A frenzied chain of events accelerates at an alarming pace until the legendary shoot-out in Union Square throws everything into chaos and sends everyone scrambling for survival.
