Calamity James and the Tombstone Inferno

You’ve heard of Jesse and Frank James, but in this action-packed alternate-history adventure from the bestselling Johnstones, it’s their little brother, Calamity, who, despite his worst efforts, steals the show.

JOHNSTONE COUNTRY. WHERE LEGENDS DIE AND FOOLS RUSH IN.

The yellow-bellied Robert Ford has shot the infamous Jesse James to death—thanks to a tip from Jesse’s own brother, Calvin “Calamity” James. Cal swears it isn’t his fault. How was he supposed to know who Ford was, much less that he was gunning for Jesse? His older brother Frank, who’s even more ornery than Jesse was, believes the family name and legacy would be better off with Cal pushing up daisies in Boot Hill.

While Frank pursues his brother for revenge, Cal arrives in Tombstone, Arizona, reuniting with the love of his life, dance-hall gal Clumsy Catherine. Still reeling from the unsettled dust and acrid gun smoke following the gunfight at the O.K. Corral, Tombstone’s citizens are on edge with itchy trigger fingers. So when Cal and Cat extinguish an out-of-control fire by dynamiting buildings, the couple find themselves run out of town on a rail—into Pleasant Valley where Cal brands the wrong cattle, starting a range war.

And when Frank catches up with him, Cal realizes the West just isn’t big enough for someone as unlucky as he is . . .
