On the Wrong Side of the Law

By John Porter

YOU'RE A FOOL, KIT JOY Kit Joy is a happy cowboy io New Mexico--until he talks to a fashion designer traveling on a train from San Francisco. He realizes he's not as happy as he thought and decides to rob a train, go to San Francisco himself, and have the time of his life. "You're a fool, Kit Joy," says Rackety Smith, another cowboy. But with three companions, Joy carries out the robbery. The four hide the money and plan to return to it soon. But the railroad hires Joy's former employer, Sheriff Harvey Whitehill, who begins to track the robbers down. SALLY SKULL, R.I.P. "She was something, all right," Merlie Grossman says at the funeral of Sarah Jane Newman, a.k.a. Sally Skull. The other mourners agree, and so do the men and women who are happy as hell she's dead. Sheriff McAlister is neither happy nor sad. Instead, he's angry at himself for not holding Sally to account for the murder of two husbands and possibly a third. He's also perplexed as all get-out by one undeniable fact... no one has found Sally's body. Along with the two novellas, this collection brings you three short stories about other men and women who are on the wrong side of the law.
