Texas West — Tim McGuire

Rance Cash's life calling is to leech off the guileless. But this time around, he believes he's won $10,000 fair and square -- and he's taken it upon himself to chase down whoever swiped it. His horse will take him across Texas to New Mexico. And his adventures will take him from impersonating a lawyer to helping a snake-oil salesman.
 
But Rance isn't entirely blameless. He still owes the Barneses, a down-on-their-luck farming family, quite a sum. The only way son Jody Barnes can think to save their remaining cattle from a mysterious, fatal disease is to round 'em all up and hightail it north. And if, on the way, he should encounter a familiar gambler, this greenhorn is more than ready to take him on.
