DEATH DANCE: Eighth in a Series of Jess Williams Westerns (A Jess Williams Western Book 8)

In Death Dance, Jess is on the hunt for two men who killed an innocent woman and her son. His hunt takes him to Wichita where he finds United States Marshal Frank Reedy healing from the wounds he received in an ambush that left his deputy, Chance Hannon, dead.

Jess sets out to hunt the men responsible for the ambush on Frank Reedy, but things get even more complicated when a group of pistol competitors from the state of New York come west to get revenge against Jess for the killing of their friend and pistol champion, Wesley Hommes, who Jess killed in a gunfight.

If that wasn't bad enough, Thomas Stidham offers up ten thousand dollars to start a pot of prize money for the man who can kill Jess in a fair gunfight. Jess ends up in Abilene, Kansas, where hundreds of easterners come to watch what becomes the "Death Dance with Jess Williams," where Jess has to accept challenge after challenge from the group of pistol competitors from New York who want to be the one who beats him on the draw and receive over forty thousand dollars in prize money.
