LEFT-HAND KELLY by Elisabeth Grace Foley

2015 Peacemaker Award Finalist for Best Independently Published Western Novel

Sixteen-year-old Lew Kelly grew up idolizing his enigmatic ex-gunfighter father. Everyone thought Lew’s habit of practicing his quick draw was a harmless amusement—until the day when a boys’ hot-headed quarrel exploded into gunplay, with disastrous results.

Three years later, Lew is withdrawn and bitter—and he still carries a gun. When an unexpected twist of circumstances forces him to face again the memories and the aftermath of that ill-fated fight, will old wrongs be righted—or will the result be an even worse tragedy than before?

"A very difficult to put down read...Foley's characters are both complex and well developed...The tale is beautifully paced, building through tense and frantic scenes to its neat conclusion." - Western Fiction Review
