Description
Friday The Thirteenth.
Close to midnight.
The Government Agent Willard Dull is reading a book at the hotel bar when a man in black comes in.
As the stranger retired to his room, Dull took a look at the register.
The man had signed himself as 'Death' from 'Hell'.
Before midnight chimed, two men were dead, both killed by the man in black.
Dull suddenly realises that all his plans to trap a gang of payroll robbers are about to fall apart — unless he can stop Death from reaping a grim harvest…
Killing Time is a tense and thrilling Western about justice in an unforgiving land and time.
