USA Today best-selling author Ralph Cotton pens tales straight out of the grit-and-glory days of the Old West.
In Crossing Fire River, Cotton introduces Lawrence “Fast Larry” Shaw, a quick-drawing gunslinger tormented by his past. Reeling from the death of his wife Rosa, Fast Larry turns to whiskey to drown his sorrows. But even with a drink in one hand, he’s still the fastest shot around. So when he becomes a target for a Mexican bounty hunter after killing two banditos, Fast Larry will have to protect himself the only way he knows how.
Cotton’s first novel, While Angels Dance, was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize, and his work remains a high-ace of Western fiction. Narrator James Jenner lends an authentic voice perfectly matched to Cotton’s prose.
