.44 — H.A. DeRosso

Dan Harland was a man with a reputation -- a reputation earned through killing. He was a hired gun, and the speed of his .44 was the stuff of legend. He never enjoyed his work, but he did it well and the pay was good.

But even the money didn't help when Harland was hired to hunt down a man who seemed all too ready to be killed. The look in that man's eyes as he died stirred something almost forgotten in Harland's soul...his conscience. All at once, Harland knew he couldn't rest until he found the mysterious man who had hired him for the job -- even if the trail led to his own grave.
