Ursula Turner
A Dalton's Revenge
Daniel Newman is a Vietnam Veteran who, upon receiving a letter from his dying father, learns he is a descendant of the late Emmett Dalton, member of an outlaw gang that once terrified people of the Old West. He also learns the Dalton Gang found its end in the small town of Coffeyville, Kansas, when some of its citizens killed all but Emmett in a fierce gun battle.
Newman devises a plan to avenge his relatives by doing some damage to Coffeyville and to some of its citizens. He intends to do this with the help of four men he knows. However, one of the men backs out at the last minute and Newman enlists the reluctant help of his girlfriend simply to have five gang members, the same number as the Daltons.
One other difference is that the gang roars into town on motorcycles instead of galloping horses.
"Ursula Turner gives us an exciting story with a surprise at every turn. The title led me to believe that I would be headed back to the Old West. Boy was I wrong. I found myself face to face with a modern-day madman set on unfounded violence toward innocent people. Just when I thought that the plot couldn’t be more exciting, Mother Nature shows up with a vengeance of her own. "A Dalton’s Revenge" is a nail-biting read with a wild ending. I highly recommend it!" -Rodney Lay, singer/songwriter/musician/actor/ 2005 inducted in the Kansas Rock’n Roll HALL OF FAME
