The gunsmith's gallantry

the long version

"Hiram Dooley's sister Gert is about to leave him to get married--if Sheriff Ethan Chapman would ever propose; his sister-in-law, Rose, thinks Hiram should marry her, since they're both widowed; and the woman he truly loves, Libby Adams, is blind to his regard. Schoolmarm Isabel Fennel has a different problem--a man claiming to be her uncle came to town...and then disapeared. She's afraid her father may have killed him and buried him behind the barn. Hiram helps the sheriff end a brawl at Bitsy Shepard's saloon, and a mysterious stranger claims to be heir to a mining claim. The mayhem continues when Cyrus Fennel shows up with a black eye and starts trying to sell his land. Can Hiram and the sheriff, along with Libby and the other members of the Ladies' Shooting Club, discover what's behind the mysterious events in Fergus? Will the uproar derail Hiram and Libby's blooming romance, or can the Ladies' Shooting Club save the day once again?"--P. [4] of cover.
