Bad News for Bad Men

Western. Bad News for Bad Men is just that for the Burwell clan when Jimmy Jones arrives in town to take over the Jasper Journal.

• In the last twelve years you have tried to raise hell continually.

Joness uncle has given him the small-town newspaper because Jimmys life so far has been divided into two equal halves: In the first twelve years you were a small child and a schoolboy. Now, instead of being called a gunfighter, Jimmy can be called an editor.

• His uncle warns Jimmy that there is no news in Jasper except bad news, so Jimmy should be right at home.
• Notwithstanding, the rival newspaper prints only good news.

• The collection includes also 2 novels The Lions Share and The Red Well.

Jimmy changes that from the start by stating that an act of heroism was actually a murder and that the Jasper Journal will tell readers how it happened and who committed it.
