Or get stuck with a moniker like &;Widowmaker.&; Even so, Newt is ready to put his gunslinging days behind him, hang up his Winchester, and take it easy. There&;s just one problem: Ain&;t nothing easy about living in Apache country . . .
 
When Newt gets word that a renegade tribe has kidnapped Matilda Redding&;s grandson, he can&;t just sit by and let the local authorities bungle it. Matilda once did him a good turn up on the Pecos and&;flat broke and half drunk or not&;he&;s got to help the old gal out. So he saddles up his horse, straps on his dead man&;s gun, and sets off to save this boy before he&;s buzzard chow. Sure, Newt&;s outnumbered, outgunned, and probably out of his mind. But they don&;t call him Widowmaker Jones for nothing . . .
