Synopsis

In the Texas Panhandle, Newt Bascom and Sam Jordan are stock detectives who have the brains to outwit most rustlers—and the brawn to outfight the rest. Now, Bascom and Jordan are being dispatched on a once-in-a-lifetime job. Someone has made off with a prized, imported English bull named Homer. The detectives have to bring Homer home …

From Palo Duro Canyon through the Staked Plains, Bascom and Jordan pick up the trail of the missing bull—and the shadowy rustler who took him. And when Dodge City, run by an ornery Marshall named Earp, turns up empty, the detectives head into a wild land. Bluffing, bludgeoning and bragging their way into a smart, secretive and deadly criminal gang, Bascom and Jordan find their bull all right. But stealing back a critter who has love and leisure on his mind proves to be the easy part of the job. The hard part is getting back to Texas—with Homer and their lives …

Goodreads review by Josh

Was getting bored with westerns. Liked this one. More original than the others I've read. Not the same old blah blah blah. Nice and succinct. Not drawn out like several I've read.......more

Goodreads review by Jay

A nice brak from reading more serious works. The partner duo in this book are likeable and the detective work is good. Braun does a good job in bringing the Indian Territory to life.......more

Goodreads review by Joshua

Good premise, good characters, instead of painting the scenes with words it leaves a lot to be created by your own imagination; a lot of buildup but in the end the action feels glossed over. I liked it.......more
