Die Hard

Chet Manning, troubleshooter with the South and West Railroad, never needed to look for trouble.

It just seemed to stroll right up and punch him in the gut.

To Manning, that was a way of life.

The big problem right now was a saloon girl called Glory Harpe - the troubleshooter had killed her man, and Glory was out for revenge.

Roping in two gunslinging sidekicks, she'd got herself a plan to see Manning die agonisingly, bloodily and very, very slowly.

Chet was on his own.

He was facing two cunning thugs and a kill-crazy slut.

For once, the odds seemed too long for comfort...

Will his courage last long enough for him to find and kill his outlawed enemies?

And is he prepared to Die Hard to get them…?

Die Hard is a classic Western adventure. It was originally published as Rails West.
