Life is full of surprises. Most of those the Gunsmith faces are either wanton women or ambushes by outlaws. This time is different. A fifteen-year-old girl breaks the news to Clint that her mother has been killed, and that her father is...him.
The suspected murderer holds a lot of influence in Kansas City, but he made a big mistake. Power don't mean dirt to Clint. And no one messes with the Gunsmith—or his offspring.
