Rocky Lane Western #82

When oil bubbles up beneath Tex Harmon's worthless homestead, the aging rancher suddenly finds himself the target of greedy claim-jumpers—including the ruthless Loper Crag, who'll stop at nothing to seize the land. Rocky Lane arrives just in time to stand with his old friend, but stopping a pair of desperate schemers bent on theft and arson proves to be a fight that tests even the Secret Marshal's quick draw and quick thinking.

A desperate bandit named Sixto Rigano—the sole survivor of an outlaw gang that once terrorized Texas—has fled across the border to wage a calculated vendetta against the lawmen who brought down his old crew. When roving Marshal Rocky Lane uncovers Sixto's pattern of targeted raids, he sets a trap that forces a tense pursuit into the Mexican badlands and a final reckoning at the Rio Grande.

When Roy Yager's land redraw leaves Mike Bolton with nothing but cactus and sand, the discouraged rancher seems beaten—but a chance meeting with an old friend and a tip from Yager's own lawyer spark an idea that just might turn the tables. As Bolton secretly trains with a local gunfighter and records the deed in his name, he sets a trap for the ruthless Yager, betting that the schemer's own greed will be his undoing.

Leo Meyers earned his nickname "Jackrabbit" by staying out of trouble and fleeing danger—until two rough gunmen, Bodie and his partner, decide to hide out at his small ranch.

Rocky Lane goes undercover as a wealthy Eastern dude to investigate rustler king Lobo Wales, who's scheming to swindle a young woman out of her inherited ranch. When Wales grows impatient and makes his move, the roving marshal must track down a massive stolen cattle herd and face off against the outlaw gang before they can make their escape.
