Tom West Knihy

He owed allegiance to both the law... and the lawless. Hap Harrigon is on the run for a crime in Yuma and on the vengeance trail, even though he knows it will end at the gallows. He's chasing the man who framed him and killed his friend. But complicating things is the sudden return of Slick Sam, his former cell-mate and a double-taking, double-dealing...who gets him involved in a bank robbery, a swindle, and a feud with sheepmen that draws the U.S. Cavalry into the dangerous mix. Fred East (1885-1983), who wrote under the name "Tom West," was born in London, England. After being badly injured in France while serving in the British Army in WW1, he turned to writing, eventually moving to the United States, where he became a journalist and editor. In 1944, at age 59, he published his first western novel, and went on to write 60 more, including some under pseudonyms.

"One of the toughest range wars in western fiction, told with Tom West's inimitable dry humor and versatility in the cowpoke vernacular. The reader is assured of several hours of complete relaxation -- if he can find it in murder, massacres and shootings." Chicago Tribune Crawler Connor raised his son Bill to become the fastest gunslinger in west for one purpose -- vengeance. Now the time has come and Bill rides straight into a bloody range war to face his violent, bloody destiny. "Prolific author Tom West follows the usual pattern of the better gunfighting and hard-riding novels. A range war, assorted bandits, and a mystery make this a good yarn." Fort Worth Star-Telegram "A western with plenty of shooting, action and suspense." Galveston Daily News "Tom West has provided western fans with gunplay, thrills and romance in this book."
