☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeBobby Benson and Miss "Lemonade" Brayne must stop the Spider—a criminal mastermind operating from Mexico who has kidnapped wealthy Mexicans and is using a deadly mechanical saw to execute his victims. The story involves Bobby's pursuit across the Mexican border, encounters with the Spider's agents, a dangerous saw-trap at a lumber mill, and ultimately Bobby's battle to rescue the captives and capture the Spider before he can complete his deadly plan.
When Bobby Benson discovers a mysterious sickness spreading through his prize herd just days before market, he and his B-Bar-B riders uncover strange cuts in the ground near the ranch fence—and a pair of armed neighbors who'd rather shoot than talk. As the boys set traps and Bobby devises an ingenious plan using luminous paint and ultraviolet light, they race to catch the rustlers red-handed before the final theft can happen. It's a clever cat-and-mouse game that tests both Bobby's wits and his riders' courage against an enemy operating under cover of darkness.
When Bobby Benson discovers that playboy Pomeroy has tricked Miss Belinda "Flutter" Brayne into leasing her Double-Dagger Ranch under false pretenses—a scheme to secretly drill for oil hidden beneath a phony lumber operation—Bobby and Flutter find themselves trapped at the Last Chance Mill. With the massive circular saw bearing down on them and danger closing in, Bobby must use his wits and a steady hand to turn the tables on the ruthless men holding them captive. Time is running out, and only Bobby's quick thinking stands between life and the teeth of "The Death Saw."
The Lemonade Kid ventures into Mexican territory to stop a criminal known as the Spider, who's been kidnapping wealthy locals for ransom—but a cunning trap using a mysterious woman named Lolita lures him deeper into danger. Caught in the Spider's deadly webs high above a canyon, the Kid must use his wits and whatever he can scavenge to fight his way through the villain's mountain lair, where a hijacked train and a fortune in stolen goods await. It's a high-stakes gamble to finally bring down the Spider and his criminal operation.
When the brutish Matt Watkins escapes from jail and heads toward the border, Sheriff Warren rallies a posse—but Bobby Benson and his schoolboy riders suspect the outlaw has a different destination in mind. The quick-thinking young cowboys set out to track Watkins themselves, using wits and tricks to corner the desperate killer before he can slip away. It's a showdown between the Cowboy Kid Posse and one of the meanest hombres in the Big Bend.
