  THEY CALL HIM "TEXAS LIGHTNING" 
   
   
   
  His name is Jon Gage. Most folks know him as "Texas Lightning," the fastest draw in the West. Rumor has it he's killed more than thirty men in half as many years.

  There is no rest for the wicked. 
   
   
   
  A nameless drifter haunted by his past, Gage hopes to right the wrongs he committed. He's fighting on the side of the angels now, whether it's a widow losing her freight business, a wagon train of farmers in trouble, or a small-time rancher battling a big-time cattle baron. Wherever he goes, there are wicked men preying on the innocent—and some of them recognize Gage as the notorious Texas Lightning. Gage knows he can't outrun his demons. But he can still outgun them . . .

  Slash and Pecos match wits with the wiliest opponent they've ever had—a wickedly smart woman who can't be caught—in their wildest western adventure yet . . . 
   
   
   
  It sounds like an easy job: track down the lady friend of notorious outlaw Duke Winter and bring her in for questioning. There's just one problem: Slash and Pecos have never met a woman like Miss Fannie Diamond, a glamorous showgirl who's prettier than a French poodle, slicker than a Dodge City gambler, and more slippery than a Mojave rattlesnake. She knows that Slash and Pecos are coming for her and has no intention of being caught—not without one hell of a fight . . . 
   
   
   
  By the time the duo arrive at the Rocky Mountain mining camp where Miss Diamond is performing, the devilishly clever gal has already arranged a welcome wagon for them: some hired thugs who knock Slash and Pecos silly. Still, the show must go on—so the pair decide to snatch Miss Diamond off the stage in the middle of a performance. It doesn't take long for Slash and Pecos to learn that there's no business like show business—and no showgirl like Miss Fannie Diamond. Sometimes, the female of the species is deadlier than the male . . .
