The Bisbee Massacre (The Gunsmith, No. 340)

This episode finds Clint Adams in Tombstone,Arizona in 1883,2 years after the smoke has all cleared away from the confrontation between the Earps and the Clantons in 1881. A massacre takes place when a madman goes on a rampage in the nearby town of Bisbe,25 miles southeast of Tombstone.Along with that,a rancher outside Tombstone is murdered and Clint Adams is enlisted to help bring in the killer and help ensure he is not lynched before he can be given a fair trial. There is nothing particularly outstanding with this novel.It is not filled with much in the way of great characters,nor is the writing very colorful.The novel is pretty much void of much in the way of good Old West descriptions or expressions.
