Two Gun Texan — John Creasey

When Johnny Hanson -- Sleepy Johnny to some -- hit the dust trail to Cut-Y outfit and met Haywire Heep, Cut-Y and its neighboring ranges seemed peaceful enough. But Johnny soon came to learn of the antagonism felt by some of the punchers towards the two foremen of Cut-Y. He even began to suspect there was good reason for it.

It is not long before Cut-Y becomes threatened by a powerful band of rustlers, and Dry Gulch County is filled with gun smoke.

Taking a violent dislike to the rustlers' leader, Red Bandilo, and a strong liking for Marion Waring, one of the two daughters of the owner of Cut-Y, Johnny sets out to defend the outfit. As puncher is set against rustler, "Two-Gun Texan" captures the scintillating atmosphere of the old Wild West, amidst the fog of smoke and the crackle of six-shooters.
