Bloody Joe
(Book)

"Bloody" Joe Mannion is a town tamer of great renown. His temper is just as famous. Known as the most uncompromising lawman on the Western frontier, he's been the town marshal of Del Norte in the Colorado territory for the past five years. When his temper gets the better of him and he badly beats Whip Helton, the son of a prominent rancher, Joe's house is burned down and his daughter kidnapped and raped. Joe goes on a vengeance-fueled warpath, putting him at odds with the whole town he's sworn to protect. To make sure Whip Helton hangs for kidnapping and rape, Bloody Joe will risk everything, including his life, the town, and a hail of hot lead!"--back cover.
