About this ebook

Bud Conley's fall from Mounted Police duty sends him hurtling into the lawless borderland of Kingsburg, where smugglers, rustlers, liquor-runners, and murderers move in the shadow of Monk Magee's suspicious hotel. Humiliated by a drunken scandal tied to Marie Beaudet, Bud knows he was framed, but the evidence—his own revolver, a missing gun, and whispers of guilt—threatens to destroy his name and the love of Norah Clarey. As Inspector Grandon and Henderson struggle to untangle the violence, stolen money, broken safes, and the bodies of McKay and Cree George point to a deeper conspiracy. Joe Burgoyne, Marie's reckless suitor, is drawn into the investigation, while old Louis Beaudet stands armed and furious over his daughter's injury and the theft from his store. Bud, stripped of his badge but not his pride, rides toward Kingsburg in storm and anger, only to wake trapped in a locked cabin, guarded by hostile captors and forced to rely on his grit, wit, and stubborn courage. In a world where loyalty is tested and every clue breeds suspicion, he must uncover the truth before the outlaws finish what they started. This edition has been fully restored with modern typesetting, custom cover design.

About the author

W. C. Tuttle, born Wilbur C. Tuttle in the late nineteenth century, was an American writer whose life and career were shaped by the restless energy of the West and the early pulp-magazine era. After working in varied jobs and absorbing the rhythms of frontier life, he became one of the most recognizable voices in popular fiction, especially in stories centered on the American West, adventure, and hard-edged humor. He built a strong reputation through a steady stream of lively tales that combined action with sharply drawn characters, earning a devoted readership in magazines and later among fans of Western fiction. Tuttle's best work often explores themes of loyalty, grit, justice, and the uneasy line between civilization and lawlessness, and those concerns still resonate today in an age that continues to wrestle with moral compromise, survival, and identity. His stories capture both the myth and the reality of frontier life, offering not just excitement but also a window into the values and anxieties of early twentieth-century America. Though he is less widely remembered now than some of his contemporaries, his legacy endures in the tradition of Western storytelling and in the influence he helped shape for generations of genre writers. Readers who enjoy fast-moving adventure, colorful characters, and classic Western atmosphere will find his work especially rewarding.
