| Publisher Description: Showdown on Texas FlatJ. J. Farman claimed that the vast expanse of Texas Flat was his. And to prove it, he had Farman's Enforcers and a band of hardcase gunslingers patrolling there. Dave Bradford knew that Texas Flat was legally open range-and that the only chance of driving his cattle to sale was right through it. Dave was a peaceable man, but he couldn't afford to take the long way around. Texas Flat might be his grave, but it was Texas Flat or the end of him as a rancher.Texas LawmanDan Ricker didn't have a badge. He didn't ask to be a lawman. But he owed his life to Marshall Burke-and when Burke died while taking killer Jack Gorman to jail, Ricker knew he had to take over the job.The trail led through treacherous Comanche territory-where Ricker picked up the added burden of a girl whose father had been murdered by the Indians. Even worse, it passed close to the Gorman ranch, where Jack's vicious, vengeance-hungry kin waited in ambush. The Gormans had everything, including geography, in their favor, and it would take wits as well as raw courage to win through.And even when Ricker and his prisoner reached the apparent safety of town, jail, and civilized law, there was one final enemy to face-and one final showdown. |
