Trail to Purgatory

Kate Dukes' life hung in the balance … and her father, the Governor of Texas, held his top Enforcer, Yancey Bannerman, responsible! When the Governor suspended him, Yancey decided – reluctantly – to strike out and go it alone. A group of small ranchers were hoping to push their herds to a place known as Purgatory, where the best cattle prices were being paid. And it was vital that they make it – because if they didn't, they could kiss goodbye to their land, which was mortgaged to a robber baron known as Troy Gant. Kirk Hamilton is best known as Keith Hetherington who has penned hundreds of westerns (the figure varies between 600 and 1000) under the names Hank J Kirby and Brett Waring. Keith also worked as a journalist for the Queensland Health Education Council, writing weekly articles for newspapers on health subjects and radio plays dramatising same. Bannerman the Enforcer, in which a special task-force answerable only to the Governor of Texas is sent on all kinds of do-or-die missions.
