The rebel is Tom Tolley, ex-Confederate fighter in the bloody Civil War. Returning home to the family farm in the wilds of Arizona, he expects the enmity and the killing to be over. Instead he is met with flying lead!

The heiress is Mary-Ann, indulged only child of millionaire Huey J. Charters. Will her willfulness and fondness for pranks be her downfall, or can they be turned into a feisty courage as events take a gruesome turn?

Sparks fly when Tom, dispossessed of his farm, meets the impish heiress. He is landless — worse, an unforgiven grayback for whom there is no pardon in the untamed country he calls his home. But the pair are thrown together against a hostile town, a scheming murderer, and the mysterious Jed Carbone, a pitiful drunk who knows more than he's saying …

"You're hurting, Tom, I can tell," Mary-Ann tells Tom when they are held captive by four ruthless rogues possessed by gold fever. "We've got to get away from this pack of maniacs. We must!"

"It wouldn't work," he mutters. "We both know it. It wouldn't work …"

The best of the West loaded with five-star suspense, adventure, romance, action, thrills!

About the author

Chap O'Keefe


From New York Times bestselling author James Reasoner:

When it comes to popular fiction, Keith Chapman is something of a treasure. He’s a long-time reader and commenter on this blog [Rough Edges], of course, but beyond that he’s a writer and editor whose career stretches back 60-some-odd years, to the days of Sexton Blake and EDGAR WALLACE MYSTERY MAGAZINE, of which he was the founding editor. Over the years he has also been a prolific author of fine Western novels under the pseudonym Chap O’Keefe, many of them published originally as Black Horse Westerns by Robert Hale. The good news for Western readers is that quite a few of those novels are available again as e-books, and more are in the works …  As you’d expect from his background, Chapman is an excellent yarn-spinner and storyteller. He writes books that are just plain fun to read, and A GUNFIGHT TOO MANY is no exception. The action moves along at a good pace and Sam Hammond is a really likable protagonist. The villains are properly despicable, as they need to be in a book like this. I had a fine time reading this novel and think most traditional Western fans would agree. The e-book edition is available on several platforms, which you can find here …  Keith Chapman is working in a legendary tradition.
