This collection includes:
McQueen of the Tumbling K
Ranch foreman Ward McQueen recognizes trouble when he sees it-and
trouble is what the Texan sees when he spies the tracks of a wounded
man in the middle of the big Tumbling K spread. In town, he learns
that a tinhorn gambler has just won the ranch next to the Tumbling
K in a dirty card game--and is turning his oily gaze toward the
K's pretty owner, Miss Ruth Kermitt.
Sure as shooting, McQueen knows the shifty-eyed parlor snake
has something to do with the tracks, but before he can prove it
to Ruth Kermitt. McQueen finds himself ambushed, dry-gulched,
and left in a shallow grave to die--
West of the Tularosas
Pelona was a strange town, and Ward McQueen was a stranger to
it. The stalwart foreman of the Tumbling K had come to the high
country to take legal possession of the Firebox range. But the
sight that greeted him when he arrived was an ugly one: the battle-stained
and bullet-ridden body of its former owner. It was clear that
the young Jimmy McCracken had gone out fighting, for his killers
left behind a trail of blood. Now McQueen has followed that trail--straight
to Pelona, a town so full of double-dealings and trickery that
the truth can only be uncovered from behind the barrel of a gun--
