Rangy Pete

The Dervishers have been bleeding Triple Butte dry, and there's only one man wild enough to stop them. Rangy Pete rides into town with nothing but a Winchester and a reputation that makes outlaws sleep with one eye open. He's everything a western hero should be: lean, dangerous, and carrying a grudge that's been fermenting in the badlands. But the desert has a way of complicating a man's plans. When Pete crosses paths with a blue-eyed bandit girl who can lasso a man at forty paces, his mission gets tangled up with something far more volatile than gunpowder. Guy Morton writes with the kinetic energy of a dust storm, filling the page with colorful cowboy argot and landscapes so vivid you'll feel the grit between your teeth. This is pulp western at its most alive: shootouts at high noon, romance that hits like a right hook, and a hero who's more than happy to paint the town red before riding into the sunset.
