STRATTON: Fifty-Ninth in a Series of Jess Williams Westerns (A Jess Williams Western Book 59)

Jess finds himself facing off with three gunmen in Bannon, Texas, who had been beating up on an old man. After killing two of them and running the other one out of town, he runs into two Texas Rangers who question him about the two dead bodies still in the street.

After a suitable explanation, and finding out who Jess is, the two Rangers invite him to ride with them after a ruthless killer, Sid Black. Jess declines, wanting to make it to Stratton, Texas, to propose a business venture to Henry Stratton and finally take some time to rest up.

After finally reaching Stratton, he learns about the murders of the two Texas Rangers, whom he declined to help and he feels somewhat responsible. After proposing his business venture to Henry Stratton, he finds himself riding with John Bodine again, going after Sid Black.
