Book excerpt: Even the Fastest Gun Alive can use a little backup now and then. When a teenage Mexican girl shouts out a warning in the midst of a gunfight, Fast Larry Shaw knows he owes her his life. Francisca believes the gunslinger is the angel she and her mother have prayed for to save them from the outlaws that have made their life a living hell. Shaw’s no angel, but he is well equipped to offer protection—and hope. And maybe it’s not too late to sway the scales in the favor of some basic human decency…if Shaw can handle the odds. With the town trapped in a crossfire between federales and banditos, Shaw’s going to need all the prayers—and ammo—he can lay his hands on.
