Longarm and the Lone Star Frame
1988
REUNION WITH DANGER
The way Longarm saw it, his old friend Jessie Starbuck was easy on his eyes, but hard on his health. When he answered her telegram he didn't reckon on a welcoming committee of local lawmen out to try her for murder...or a pack of fast-shooting outlaws with a hankering for a little low-down justice.
Longarm just couldn't figure how such a pretty little lady could get herself tangled up in such bad business. And he had enough on his mind, like staying one step ahead of a vengeful gypsy clan, a couple of tribes of riled-up Indians, and a few crazy "white eyes" with Gatling guns.
But then again, Longarm knew that whenever Jessie Starbuck was involved, only the lovin' and the dyin' were easy.

But rumors are spreading like wildfire that the Kid is dead—though Deputy Marshal Long isn't convinced: he wouldn't be the first bad man to fake his own death.
Longarm sets out in search of the bandit, and finds a whole lot of folks aimin' to send him where the Fresno Kid is supposed to be—a nice lonesome hideout six feet under!
