Outlaw’s Revenge

One man’s battle for justice…

Len Corbett was a rancher turned outlaw, forced onto the dark side when his home was destroyed by rustlers and his wife and child hung in cold blood.

Motivated by a thirst for revenge he turned to thievery and with his gang, successfully held up a stage carrying a fortune in gold.

To the passengers there was nothing remarkable about that, but a surprise was to come: the outlaw relented and sent the stage on its way unharmed.

Had he been swayed by the sight of the beautiful Lucy Lee, or was it in the name of her fiancé, Caleb Brock, that caused his hesitation? Whatever the answer, the robber gang were disgusted by their leader’s change of heart and would soon be gunning for Len.

Worse still, Len went on to make an enemy of Brock who turned out to be a powerful mayor up to his neck in illegal activity.
Len fell straight into Brock’s trap. He agreed to lead his rustling expedition but it was a set-up, sentencing to hanging. 

Just when it seemed like the end of the trail for Len he was saved by an unexpected benefactor. The beautiful Lucy Lee had seen past the evil in her fiancé to the spark of goodness in Len.

Now, at last, Len had a chance of avenging those who had destroyed everything for which he had lived.

How this one brave man battled for justice makes a stirring tale of the Old West…
