Ducky Entertains
By Douglas H. Woodworth
In the sunbaked town of Silver Springs, Deputy Ducky Drake—deceptively indolent, razor-sharp, and the most feared manhunter in the West—lures a smooth-talking Eastern stranger into a high-stakes game of wits, whiskey, and concealed weapons. With a moon-faced grin and a talent for outfoxing outlaws, Ducky turns a routine arrest into a battle of bluffs, where the real treasure isn’t gold or guns, but the last laugh in a lawless land.
