Misfit Lil Gets Even | Chap O'Keefe

While Silver Vein's cheering citizens watch Misfit Lil confirm her reputation as "Princess of Pistoleers" in a gala shooting match, Yuma Nat Hawkins and his gang rob the bank in the near-empty town, gunning down the feeble opposition in cold blood.  Patrick "Preacher" Kilkieran, a visitor at the hotel, witnesses the robbery but makes no move to interfere. He soon adds more crimes to his record, striking a mysterious deal with a renegade Indian and committing a brutal assault on Lil Goodnight's pretty waitress friend, Estelle, before disappearing into the wilderness.  Lil vows retribution. She knows tracking down Kilkieran will be no easy job, but she's going to give it one hell of a try! "Misfit Lil ...   What a terrific name for a character, eh? This book belongs to an endangered species: the Western. As for the story: totally professional, as you would expect, and a lot of fun. The author  knows how to do the job. Ms Lil has appeared before, and doubtless will again. " Grumpy Old Bookman (Guardian Top 10 blogger)
