Lady Gunsmith 7Gavin Doyle has reportedly been seen around St. Joseph, Missouri. Once there, Roxy spots a man who someone tells her is "Thomas Howard." But she knows the man by his real name-Jesse James. She had been introduced to Jesse by Belle Starr some time ago, and had also had a tryst with his brother, Frank. Jesse's looking for reliable people to form a new gang. He tries to recruit Roxy. He then asks her to keep his secret and not expose him, for he and his wife have bought a house in St. Joe and are living there under the Howard alias. When several attempts are made to kill her, Roxy has to wonder if Jesse is behind the attempts, or if it's someone else, entirely?
