Longarm And The Diamond Sisters

EVANS/DIAMOND SISTERS VOL 356

Longarm’s up against the four horsewomen of the apocalypse… They are the daughters of Howard Diamond. Four sultry sirens with an appetite for outlaws and more ambition than their old man ever had. With a gang of gunslingers satisfying their every need, the Diamond Sisters have declared war on the citizens of Snakehead Gap, Colorado, claiming land that doesn’t belong to them. Deputy U.S. Marshal Custis Long has successfully penetrated this nest of vipers, posing as a down-on-his-luck cowhand. But the warm welcome he receives from the sisters isn’t shared by the vicious—and suspicious—gunmen they employ…

A courtroom jailbreak leaves Longarm in the dust! Longarm couldn't be happier that Devil Dave Devereux is finally on trial for murder, until gun shots ring out in the courtroom—and Devil Dave is nowhere to be found when the smoke clears.

One store. One saloon. One crazy town. It could be said that Yesterday, Wyoming, is a one-horse town. It has exactly one general store, one café, one whorehouse…And the man who runs the oddly-named town, the mysterious Mr. Jiggs, likes it that way. Longarm’s in town—and incognito—investigating the murder of his old mentor, the town marshal. To crack this case, Longarm will have to figure out this riddle of a village. And with a killer on the loose, he’ll have to make sure he doesn’t become Yesterday’s news…

To catch these cons, Longarm will have to play by their rules. Rumor has it that Deputy Marshal Custis Long is now riding on the other side of the law—swindling ranchers and taking bribes, just as cool as you please. But if folks’d only look closer, they’d notice the fake moustache and counterfeit badge—and recognize the conman behind them… A motley crew of thieves, gamblers, and ladies of the night has just arrived in Ogallala, looking to relieve the local bank of its contents. But their plan—to have one of their men impersonate the lawman known as Longarm—has a fatal flaw. The owlhoots never counted on running smack into Longarm himself…

When a bride goes missing, Longarm’s the best man to get her back… Better dead than wed. That’s how confirmed bachelor and Deputy U.S. Marshal Custis Long has always lived his life. But when he watches his boss’s beautiful sister Alice—who had long carried the torch for Custis—tie the knot, he can’t help but wonder if he’s made the right choice. Plus this new husband of hers—Jesse Walker—looks familiar to Longarm, and not in a friendly way. When bride and groom mysteriously disappear right after the wedding, the lawman’s suspicions are confirmed. If Walker hurts one hair on Alice’s head, it will be Longarm’s turn to take a vow—of vengeance…

After stealing a wagonload of jewels from a roomful of Chicago society-types, two thieving actors streak westward with their loot. Their mastery of disguise has Longarm chasing shadows, but before the final curtain, his brand of six-gun justice makes Longarm the star of the show. Excerpt from Rails West (Jove, 5/93).

Sister Simone is either a thief masquerading as a nun -- or she's a nun with some interesting hobbies. Either way she's heading Longarm's direction -- and he knows there's gonna be hell to pay.
