Six-gun prodigal

the long version

Lew Clennan returned to Tinkettle Basin with a price on his head, a six-gun at his hip and a grudge. His bushwhacked father and brothers lay in their graves in the basin, where the vicious code of the grass-war now held sway. Clennan rode a jump ahead of the bounty hunters to buck landgrabber Eli Brix, his gunhawks and crooked hangers-on. Pretty soon the whole basin knew that the six-gun prodigal was back on the scene in pursuit of vengeance.
