Guns of the Vigilantes - William W. Johnstone

nIntroducing the newest good guys in the bad Old West. A ragtag team of misfit avengers who don't wear badges, don't follow rules, and won't stop shooting--till justice is served... n n nGUNS OF THE VIGILANTES n n nIt begins with a massacre. A crime so brutal and bloody, the local sheriff isn't smart enough to solve it. But when young deputy Dan Caine sees the slaughter for himself--an entire family murdered--he can't let it go. Especially when the eldest daughter is missing. Right there and then, Caine makes a fateful decision: throw away his badge, form a vigilante team, and go after the killers... n nThere's one problem: Who would be crazy enough to join him? First up is a grizzled old tinpan named Fish Lee, who discovered the bodies. Then there's the Kiowa, an Indian scout with a grudge; Cooley, a washed-up gambler; Mortimer, a whiskey-soaked newsman; and Holt, a half-grown stock boy. Sure, they might be crazy. They might be inexperienced. But one thing is certain: be it from heaven above or hell below... vengeance is coming.n
