Drifter's Vengeance — Max Brand

“Tramp Royal”

That's what Sheriff Buck Masters called Speedy. The Sheriff was right. Speedy didn't like to work for a living and he carried a guitar not a gun. He was a king among tricksters. His artful hands could strip and enemy of his weapons. His quick wit could separate a thief from his loot and a crooked boss from his power.

Speedy intended to use his special skills in the town of Sunday Slough -- for he had a debt of honor to settle for a friend.
