Whether facing danger on the open range or conflict in the streets of a small Western town, the men and women in these stories discover that courage isn't measured by the hand they're dealt-but by how they choose to play it.

"With his vivid descriptions of the setting and supporting characters, Nesbitt's skill in seamlessly integrating his understated protagonists into the stories is especially clear in this collection...Playing a Lone Hand is a definite for your Western library." -John Neely Davis, Roundup Magazine
