by W. C. Tuttle
In W. C. Tuttle’s classic Western tale, drifting cowpunchers Hashknife Hartley and Sleepy Stevens ride into the Thunder range hoping to find peace, only to discover a country shadowed by suspicion, family trouble, and a masked outlaw known as the Trey of Spades. As ranch rivalries, gambling rooms, and uneasy loyalties converge around Oxbow and the Maverick ranch, the two newcomers are drawn toward a mystery they meant to avoid. Blending frontier humor, hard-riding action, and old-range intrigue, this story captures the restless spirit of the cattle country at the edge of law and legend.
