Texas Rangers in Action #17

A notorious gunman's weekly reign of terror at the Last Chance Saloon comes to an abrupt halt when a small, wiry stranger walks in—and Big Bull Cullen recognizes something in the stranger's eyes that stops him cold. In this tense western showdown, one quiet moment reveals a hard truth: behind a gun, every man stands equal.

Young Dan Case flees into the hills after a fair gunfight with Cal Ferris, only to find himself framed for a bank robbery he didn't commit—and hunted by the Texas Rangers themselves. When a ranger takes him into custody, a river crossing gone wrong forces Dan to choose between escape and doing the right thing, setting him on an unexpected path that could prove his innocence and change his life.

Robbie Simms poses as a humble farmer to infiltrate Wayne Hacker's rustling operation in the valley, but when Hacker destroys his homestead to drive him out, Simms must use the outlaw's own vanity and the town's resentment against him to gather the proof needed for an arrest. With help from unexpected allies, Simms confronts Hacker in his own saloon hangout to finally bring the ruthless rancher to justice.

Len Eklen may not look like much—he's admitted he's no fancy shot or slick rider—but when Ranger Captain Bennet sends the inexperienced recruit after Farrel, one of the most ruthless and feared outlaws in Texas, the young ranger proves there's more to catching a criminal than raw gunfighting skill. As Eklen closes in on his quarry, he'll have to rely on something Farrel never learned: the one thing a ranger never does is quit.
