He walked into town, bought a shave, and confessed to three murders. That was just the opening move. Eldridge Sample is done drifting. When he rides into the boomtown of Purgatory Creek, he isn't looking for a job-he's looking for a jail cell. After gunning down three corrupt railroad fixers on a porch outside town, Sample calmly surrenders to the local law. But Eldridge Sample doesn't surrender. He positions himself. Sheriff "Slow" Joe Early thinks he has a maniac in his cage, until the "Baron"-ruthless railroad tycoon Leland Sterling-rolls into town on a private armored train carrying a private army and a Gatling gun. Sterling wants the prisoner who killed his men, and he's willing to burn Purgatory Creek to the ground to get him. trapped in a stone jailhouse with a hungover Sheriff and a terrified deputy, Sample reveals his true plan: he didn't lock himself in to hide. He locked himself in to draw the Baron out. Now, the jail is a fortress, the street is a kill zone, and the only way out is through an army of mercenaries. From a brutal siege under the cover of night to a suicidal leap onto a moving locomotive, Sample must fight a war against the iron horse itself to deliver a verdict that no judge could write. "My daddy always told me if you get into a fair gunfight, you were doing it wrong." A high-stakes, hard-boiled Western that reads like a collision between Rio Bravo and Die Hard. Three Dead Men delivers relentless action, razor-sharp dialogue, and a hero who knows that sometimes the only way to clean up a town is to tear it down.
