What??? Jesse didnt die in a hail of gunfire? How can the "bad" guy not die. How could they finish a story like that? I really dislike the lack of closure the story had at the end. The detective didnt even go back for the treasure or to finish Jesse off.
One of the weirdest things about this story is the lack of justice you find amongst the detectives, and Lawson the most. Instead of them caring about bringing the James gang to justice, which they did to some extent, but only for the rewards that came with it. Lawson didnt rescue the boy for the kid's well-being. He got him for the judge who was offering him money to pay him. The detectives were only tracking down Jesse for the large bounty on his head, not because they wanted to be heroes.
Also the story is very interesting in the fact that its not about Jesse James. Its about Lawson, the detective, trying to hunt him down. It surprised me that the narrator was someone of an outside source rather than Jesse James himself or another outlaw amongst his gang. It seemed unusual in the manner that it wassn't all about Jesse James.
You found the cover art! And it's the damsel saving the knight-in-distress! I'm so happy!
