“Gunman’s Debt,” a Western tale by Robert E. Howard, offers a vivid glimpse into the raw and tumultuous world of the Old West. Set in the small prairie town of San Juan, Kansas, the story unfolds with the arrival of Texan John Kirby, who is quickly ensnared in a web of deceit and long-standing feuds. Unbeknownst to Kirby, the town is under the clandestine control of Captain Blanton and his chief henchman, Jim Garfield, an old enemy from Kirby’s past along the Rio Grande.
Robert E. Howard sets this old west adventure tale in a remote mountain range called the Sunset Mountains.
