The Gambler

by Terence Newnes Book 18 in the Bailey Clan Westerns series.

First published 2026

4.3(170)

A card game can be deadlier than a gunfight. Corey Bailey has spent his life drifting between poker tables and dusty trails. Trained by a master gambler in his youth, and drifting after the bitter Civil War, all he ever wanted was a ranch of his own and a reason to stay.

Wherever he goes, trouble follows, with an unwanted reputation of a gunslinger. In a small Utah town, Corey sees a chance to disappear, but stumbles into a bitter range war between a powerful rancher and nesters. Standing aside isn’t in his nature, even when the odds are stacked against him.
