Reputation
By Tuttle, W. C.
In the sleepy mission village of Santa Ynez, near the Mexican border, the locals trade tales over warm beer about a legendary killer known only as El Tigre—a man whose name alone makes hands tremble. On a night when a ferocious storm descends upon the valley, the cantina door bursts open and reputation becomes flesh. But the storm has carried more than one stranger to Santa Ynez, and before the night ends, the villagers will learn that fear, identity, and legend are not always what they seem. A classic Western tale of suspense and reversal from the pages of Adventure Magazine, 1923.
