The Three Graves of Roxy Doyle - Paperback

by J. R. Roberts (Author)

Searching for her father, famed bounty hunter Gavin Doyle, Roxy rides into Sunset, New Mexico. On Boot Hill she sees a crowd, celebrating. Dismounting to have a closer look, she makes her way up front to read the headstone:

HERE LIES ROXY DOYLE

LADY GUNSMITH

SHOT TO DEATH IN

SUNSET, NEW MEXICO

Stunned, she asks someone, "Is that really Lady Gunsmith?"

"It sure is," comes the reply, "and her gettin' killed here is gonna put us on the map."

In the nearby towns of Telegraph and Vinton, she finds two more graves with her name on them. This is the first time she's ever come across her own grave-three times! Now she not only has to prove that she's still alive, but she has to do her best to remain that way in three towns who want nothing more than for her to be dead.
