About this book
A young Texas Ranger rides into Dallas with orders to track down Dell Spreen, a gunman wanted after a rancher's death and the loss of seven thousand dollars. Known as Ware's Kid, the rider attracts attention with his elaborate clothes and youthful appearance. His reputation carries a different message. A visit to the sheriff's office and a tense encounter in a saloon bring him among people whose words and reactions demand careful judgment.
Eugene Cunningham combines a Western pursuit with the close observation of a detective story. Ranch testimony, tracks in the sand and the shape of a desert rock wall all matter to the inquiry. The dialogue gives the encounters their rough local sound, while sudden gunfire keeps the investigation dangerous. Readers interested in frontier mysteries will find a short story built around a Ranger's skill at reading both physical clues and the people he meets.
