Synopsis

GOOD MONEY AND BAD MEN Outlaw Wes Cavanaugh knows that crime doesn' t always pay-- at least not much. That' s why he and his partner, Mose, are willing to pay Jimmy Stock for information on a job that' s guaranteed to pay off big. Jimmy' s made a career of selling tips to bandits, but the job he sells Wes-- a payroll train about to leave Omaha-- requires more than information. It requires a straight shooter who can hit targets from a long distance awayand in the outlaw business, even a straight shooter can' t be trusted.

Reviews

Goodreads review by Nolan on April 01, 2021

Wasn’t overly impressed with this story. A little to much on the slow side for me. It’s 1887 in Iowa. Two crooks buying information to rob a train. Two other guys (the good guys) are vendors building, repairing and selling rifles and pistols. Meeting up, fighting and then off on their own stories.......more
