A Bullet Waited

In a town on the verge of a silver boom, one man’s quiet arrival is about to spark a thunderous showdown. Clint Cordan didn't come to Bartwo to be a hero; he came to build a future, saving every penny from years of herding to open a modest store. But in the Wild West, a man’s past is never truly behind him.

Cordan’s desire for a peaceful life is shattered when the vicious Cole brothers—the "meanest, dirtiest gunfighters west of the Platte"—ride into town, leaving a trail of blood and terror in their wake. With the Sheriff down and the town’s prominent leaders paralysed by fear, the outlaws take a young woman hostage, turning the local jailhouse into a fortress.

Forced to abandon his vow of non-violence, Cordan must strap on the guns he once used as a lawman in Laramie. It’s a classic Western tale of redemption and grit, where a "window-washer" must prove that while he doesn't look for trouble, he is the only one capable of finishing it.

"A Bullet Waited" is a gripping, fast-paced novel from the legendary Des Dunn writing as Gunn Halliday. Step into the rugged landscape of the American frontier for a story where law, order, and survival are decided by the speed of a draw.
