A novel by

 
 
The Colt Hartford whipped down from its slope. Steele's free hand came up from his side and across his body, palm cupped to accept and then clasp the barrel.
Several people - men and women - shouted from their vantage points at doors and windows. The rifle shot cracked across the voices and silenced them. McCall's revolver was at half cock when the bullet slammed into the cylinder and wrenched the gun from the big hand. It turned end over end, hit the jetty with two bounces and plopped into the muddy water below.
'Sonofabitch!' McCall yelled, shaking his hand frantically to ease the pain in his fingers.
Fargo had his Colt half out of the holster when Steele made a quarter turn, cocking the rifle's action again and drawing a bead on the bigger man's gun hand.
'Don't!' Breen screamed.
