The dead will always have their vengeance... In the small frontier town of Deadman's Bend, Red Callahan and his gang of rustlers have big plans - plans that will make them a lot of money. The only person standing in their way is Sheriff Jeff McAvery. So when Red overhears tell of a disused gold mine at the local saloon an idea strikes and he hatches a plan to push the Sheriff down the mine shaft to his certain death. A job well done... or so he thinks. But after the presumed death of McAvery, Red and his gang seem to be blighted by misfortune at every turn. Each and every one of their schemes seems to go more and more awry. Turning to increasingly desperate measures, the victims of Red's gun are on the rise. To make matters worse, there's talk that McAvery has been 'seen around' and Callahan starts to question if there are supernatural forces at work? But when a golden opportunity arises, Red is sure that his luck is about to change. Will he pull this one off? Or will the menace that has been haunting him thwart him once more? Deadman's Bend is the perfect blend of traditional western and epic mystery, making it a truly unique and compelling read.
