<div><p>Locked in a deadly feud, cowboys Randy Locke and Frank Farmer have spent decades attempting to annihilate each other any time they are within shooting distance.<br><br>So far, the men are even. One of Frank’s bullets has given Randy a permanent limp. Vain Frank wears a prosthetic ear, his own lost to Randy’s assault. If either of them remembers the original reason for the feud, it seems moot now.<br><br>Their quest for revenge has led them on a merry chase through the Old West—through soon-to-be ghost towns and major cities; cattle ranches and mountain cabins; brothels and fishing boats; jailhouses and movie sets. Even their marriages have fallen victim to the feud.</p><p>The story of their long-term hatred well known throughout the country, Frank and Randy are approached (separately, of course) by Abraham Cripplehorn with a proposition. With the popular Buffalo Bill’s Wild West show a raging success, why not publicize their next duel and sell tickets to the event? Winner take all, in more ways than one.<br><br>Frank and Randy make a date for death…but will they be able to wait for the show? And could it be that their decades-long thirst for revenge is the only thing they are living for?</p><p>Loren D. Estleman's <i>Long High Noon</i> takes the reader on a thrilling adventure, touring the Old West from the days of the trains and cattle to roads and film sets.<br><br></p></div>
