A Scheme There Was
By Tuttle, W. C.
In the desert town of Mohave Wells, slow-talking Sheriff Buck Brady spends his days whittling pine and watching trouble drift in on the stage. When a young brother and sister from the East fall into the grasp of ruthless men ruling the boomtown of Lone Mule, Buck’s quiet sense of justice is stirred. A tense Western tale of corruption, courage, and frontier law, this story follows an unlikely guardian whose patience may be more dangerous than any gun.
