Blood Brothers — Gary McCarthy

A FATAL FRIENDSHIP

Ben Pope and Rick Kilbane are as different as night and day. A miner's son, Ben is an awkward, earnest kid with no money and lots of hard luck. Rick is the wild, troublemaking son of Ulysses Kilbane, a professional gambler and the fastest gun on Nevada's Comstock Lode. But despite their differences, Ben and Rick have always been best friends and blood brothers. That may all change, though, now that Ben has pinned on a sheriff's badge. That tin star has set the blood brothers down the road to the ultimate showdown -- a final test of friendship and loyalty. A test that one of them may not survive.
