Ace High — J.R. Roberts

Almost as well known for his card playing as his shooting skills, Clint Adams finds himself on a riverboat cruise, taking on all comers. But what The Gunsmith doesn't know about this trip down the Mississippi just might get him killed! Captain Henry Morgan of the sternwheeler The Natchez Queen needed to get more people on the deck of his ship. Bringing on Clint Adams and convincing him to play poker against anyone willing to turn a card was a good plan, but Morgan needed The Gunsmith for another reason. Morgan was a marked man, with someone trying to end his business one attempted sabotage after another. Between hands of poker, Adams finds himself hunting down the guilty party while keeping company with two alluring women. Between aces on the table, the two queens vying for his attention, and the jokers trying to destroy the ship, The Gunsmith finds himself in danger of being dealt his own dead man's hand!
