    About this audiobook

    Ralph Compton created a distinct brand of Western that lives on in the epic tales bearing his name. Bullet for a Bad Man features brothers Boone and Epp, who have little in common besides a God-given ability to draw steel with eye-searing speed. Happy raising cattle, Boone wonders at his brother's lawlessness. But he never thought Epp's ambitions would turn brother against brother-nor imagine he'd face the prospect of sending his own kin to the next world.

      Boone Scott is the younger son who obeys his parents, works hard and is liked by all the ranch hands. His brother, Eppley does not like work and is not friendly to the hands. He likes to go to the town of Ransom where he gambles and whores. What his family does not know is that he actually runs the whole town and its corruption. He organizes his brother's murder but Boone escapes. Thinking he has let his parents down, Boone flees and wanders until he joins a group of horse thieves. He never actually does anything wrong and instead befriends the outlaw leader's son which later saves his life. Meanwhile Eppley murders their mother, father a doctor who figures out what he is doing and the ranch foreman who also stumbles on the truth all so he will control the family ranch. When Boone hears this, he heads for home to fix things picking up a young woman along the way.A fast moving story that is full of action. Maybe Boone is a little naive but he sure rides on the straight and narrow and is hell fire with a six shooter.
