Shot in the Back

THE GREATEST WESTERN WRITERS OF THE 21ST CENTURY

From the greatest western storytellers of our time comes a new twist on the legend of notorious outlaw Jesse Jamesâ€”who just might not have died on that fateful April 3, 1882.

1942â€”Granbury, Texas. A ninety-five-year-old man walks into a recruiting office with the crazy idea to enlistâ€”and an even crazier story. He claims to be the one and only Jesse James, the infamous bank robber allegedly shot by Robert Ford sixty years earlier. Using another manâ€™s corpse to collect the reward, Ford allowed James to slip away and start a new life. Changing his name to Dalton, Jesse worked as a cattle broker in Fort Worth and fathered a pair of twins named Bill and Frank. But when one of the boys turns out to be a chip off the old blockâ€”a young outlaw in the makingâ€”Jesse has no choice but to school the lad in the fine art of bank robbing so he doesnâ€™t get his fool head blown off. Problem is, once Jesseâ€™s son gets a taste of the outlaw life, he decides it isnâ€™t for him after all. Father Jesse, on the other hand, misses itâ€¦

So begins the wildest story the West has never known, proving that some legends are bigger than lifeâ€”and a lot harder to killâ€¦
