About this ebook

In the drought-stricken Bunch Grass valley, where heat, hard labor, and cattle rustling have worn the JHF ranch to the bone, John "the Baptist" Fann and his wife, Ma, face a crisis that cuts deeper than loss. Bob Kern and Splinter Martin uncover the truth: Barr Wyeth, now tied to the Lightning ranch and married into the family, has been stealing cattle from JHF, and the evidence threatens to expose a betrayal no one wants to name aloud. When Sheriff Chet Gunning begins pressing his case, political ambition, rumor, and old resentments turn the investigation into a public scandal. Then John is shot from behind and robbed of eight thousand dollars, and suspicion hardens into danger. Bob, Splinter, Ma, and the doctor race to piece together the morning's events while tracking the shooter's trail, including the telltale bar-shoe marks. In town, the Buck Horn saloon becomes the center of gossip, fear, and urgent speculation, with Buck Kelly watching the situation closely as talk of Barr Wyeth threatens to spark violence. Against a backdrop of loyalty, shame, and frontier justice, the ranch community must decide whether to protect its own or face the truth. This edition has been fully restored with modern typesetting, custom cover design.

About the author

W. C. Tuttle, better known as Wilbur C. Tuttle, was an American writer who found his literary home in the fast-moving world of popular fiction, especially the Western and adventure markets that flourished in the early twentieth century. Working during a period when magazines and pulp publications shaped the reading habits of millions, he built a reputation for energetic storytelling, sharp dialogue, and vivid frontier atmosphere. Over the course of his career, Tuttle became especially admired for his ability to blend action with humor, suspense, and a keen sense of character, creating stories that felt both entertaining and grounded in the rough-edged realities of Western life. His work often explores themes of justice, loyalty, deception, courage, and the uneasy line between civilization and the untamed world, themes that still resonate today in an era still fascinated by moral ambiguity and survival under pressure. Tuttle's fiction helped define the appeal of the classic Western as a place not just of gunfights and open ranges, but of human wit, resilience, and hard choices. For modern readers, his legacy lies in the craftsmanship of concise, propulsive storytelling and in the enduring appeal of stories that test character under stress. Readers who enjoy classic Westerns, brisk adventure tales, and richly textured pulp-era fiction will find Tuttle especially rewarding.
