Warning: If you cross Slocumâs pal, youâd better not cross Slocumâs path.
After so many years riding solo, John Slocum was glad to be traveling with Harley Duggan. He knew heâd found a man he could trust the moment Harley saved his hide during a barroom brawl. For weeks theyâve been whooping it up from town to townâĶuntil they hit Whizbang.
Â
This small civic-minded town is keeping a close eye on the two strangers while the marshalâs away. First, they jump to conclusionsâmistaking Slocum and Harley for horse thieves. Then they jump the gunâand decide to throw a little necktie party. When an innocent man ends up swinging, the vigilantes realize they have to bury their mistake. Which means they have to kill Slocum.

Unless Slocum kills them first...
