Bannerman the Enforcer 16: The Guns That Never Were (A Bannerman the Enforcer Western)

Johnny Cato never could resist a damsel in distress, and that’s exactly what the beautiful redhead was … wasn’t she? Johnny’s fellow Enforcer, Yancey Bannerman, had his doubts. But Johnny was smitten, and no amount of straight talking could make him see things the way they really were.
Yancey wasn’t about to give up on him, though. They’d shared too many tight spots, saved each other’s lives too many times, for that. So he kept an eye on developments, and when the lead finally started flying, as he’d known it would, he was right in the thick of it, returning fire.
That, however, was only the start of it.
Duke Early was a career criminal whose entire crooked life had been dedicated to making himself very, very rich and anyone who opposed him very, very dead. Now he had his eye on the biggest score of his life, but to carry it off he needed a gunman. Not just any gunman, though … the very best that a fortune in stolen gold bullion could buy.
In order to stop a war between America and Mexico, the Enforcers had to track down an elusive target … the guns that never were!
