When a town is taken over

Showdown at Deer Creek is Bishop's second novel and the best of his three so far published. Deep Creek Sheriff Lane Tipton, enroute to Fort Worth with two prisoners, leaves his town in the capable hands of his deputy but eventually returns to find Deer Creek in the hands of brutally cold-blooded killers just waiting for his return. His fiance, Becky Townsend, is a hostage. How can Lane free her and the other townspeople without great loss of life. It takes Bear Townsend and his ranch crew to help Lane take care of the killers but in a real twist, Becky (fast gun that she is) takes care of the arch-villain, Blackie Getts. Don't miss this one.
