The Fast Right Hand

Larry and Stretch, the West's most overworked trouble-shooters, were seeking peace and quiet, a place to rest their weary Texas heads, when they rode into the tomb-silent main street of Three Springs, South Nevada. They hadn't time to cool their saddles before the violence flared and, once again the Lone Star Hellions found themselves in the thick of a suspense-filled adventure, spiked with intrigue and the threat of sudden death. To help a troubled town, and to defy the power of twenty-four blood-thirsty bandidos, the Texans needed all their Texas savvy, their Lone Star Luck, their rock-hard fists and their booming .45s.
