About the Book

John Cannon and Pedro Ortega had enemies: assassins, street fights and ambushes. But when they were framed as murderers in a bank robbery, their friends were caught in the fast moving events to help the fugitives escape on the El Paso train.

Some characters:

   
• Sharshooter McCready bragged he always could shoot the eyes out of a running squirrel, and men were no exception, until he ambushed Canon.    
• Laura Carter, lovely but thin, young clerk in the Mercantile, sole support for her orphaned brothers and sisters, thought she was Cinderella before the transformation.    
• Domino Jake stole Pedro's hose.    
• Fugitive Pedro hiding under a restaurant table, charges interest on that theft and shares it with the restaurant owner's hungry dog.    
• Black Bart chose the wrong woman for a hostage. She was willing to die for the man she loved.    
• Maria was as eager to serve as a chubby kitten going to a fish banquet.    Tom the brakeman helped Canon uncouple train cars like beads from a broken necklace.    
• Elena Estrada, being a daughter of a language in which even roads and tables are masculine or feminie, was not likely to forget the differene between men and women.    
• Slakey, an old-style cowboy whose alert young eyes argued against the crinkled map of his face and work-hardened hands dared his slender frame. His assignment: to teach the rancher's arrogant son how to work.    
• Elisabeth's smile was as dazzling as a medieval army with banners!    
• Thunderbolt stallion. Like a seat on a sizzling raw streak of lightning, none could stay on. A beautiful and powerful animal, a cowboy's dream! He was a lot of horse! But, so wild, none could ride him! Cannon left him wild, untamed and unbroken. Yet rode him he did, using unusual, gentle but absolute control!
