Hopalong rode into cattle country just east of the California
line looking for his old friend Red Connors. He found Red holed
up in a mountain cave with a bullet in his side and a story to
tell. The ranchers around Tascotal had been losing their stock,
and when Red caught the rustlers in the act, they hunted him down,
shot him, and left him for dead. Jack Bolt, a savage, ruthless
killer, has brought in a tough band of hardcases to run his operation.
And now he's sent them out to take care of the one man who stands
in his way: Hopalong Cassidy. But Bolt's about to learn the hard
way that if you shoot down a man like Cassidy, you better make
sure he never gets up again.
NOTE: In the spring and summer of 1950, Louis L'Amour
wrote four stories about Hopalong Cassidy. He used the pen name
Tex Burns and the books were commissioned by Doubleday's Double
D Western imprint. The Rustlers of West Fork, Trail
to Seven Pines, Riders of High Rock and Trouble
Shooter were the first four novels that he had ever published.
But for the next thirty-eight years he denied that
he had ever written any of them.
