The law busters

Summary: "Bad men were their business. The names Ripley and Gibbs were known from one end of the West to the other. When there was trouble -- big trouble -- you sent for them. The price was high, but so were the odds against them -- and if Ripley and Gibbs didn't make it, you didn't pay one red cent. Rainbow Ripley and Grumpy Gibbs were just finishing a job and had decided they would take some time off when they rode into Lively, a town that was struggling to survive since the mines had played out. When they heard that the Thunder River and Northern Railroad was set to be auctioned off to the highest bidder because of debts, they felt something wasn't right. During the auction, Grumpy made a surprise bid that the sheriff immediately accepted, ending the auction. When Grumpy was subsequently approached that night with an offer three times what he paid, he and Ripley knew they'd stumbled onto something big. They determined not to let go of the railroad until they had a square deal for the girl who had previously owned the railroad -- and one that would keep Lively on the map. They soon discovered that they were up against the Denver and Pacific, a multi-million-dollar corporation that won't hesitate to use whatever means necessary to accomplish its purpose."--
