Westerns by Dean Lombardo
Big Cat Creek guards its secrets, and those who talk too much wind up dead. Big Cat also doesn’t like strangers. The latest pariahs: four Italian immigrants in fancy clothes who toss around a lot of money, ask questions in broken English, and buy up the Arizona town. They are peculiar and annoying foreigners, naive enough to be walking around without guns.
Local boss Jerry Ferguson doesn’t like strangers, especially foreigners. To protect his covert mining operations, he’s already engineered a series of murders made to look like accidents or self-defense. Suspicious of the four Italians, Jerry and his gang try to run the newcomers out of town. But the focus of Jerry's wrath is young Andrea Paolini, a skinny little musician with a girl’s name, a big mouth, and an eye on Jerry’s girl.
Caught in the middle is Sophie Bichette, an aspiring actress whose attempts to escape Jerry’s abuse have only served to get innocent men killed. Her latest beau, love-smitten Andrea, could be next as the town and surrounding hillsides explode into a bloody and fiery battlefield.
