The Texas RangerCora Carter (saloon singer)

When the Texas Ranger rescues a young woman from a mysteriously fast-spreading forest fire, she reveals she was knocked unconscious before the flames—suggesting someone wanted her dead. The Ranger suspects the blaze was deliberately set in multiple locations, and when he discovers the hotel manager hired a replacement singer the very day of the fire, he knows he's found his culprit. Now he must force a confession from the man calling himself "Creegar" before the truth about the murder plot unravels entirely.

Luke Lester (villain)

When Luke Lester pulls off a $50,000 bank heist with his partners, greed gets the better of him—he guns down Andy and Pinto to keep the whole take for himself. On the run toward Mexico, Luke's desperation leads him to betray everyone who helps him, leaving a trail of victims in his wake. This tale of triple-crosses and cutthroat ambition shows just how far a man will go when gold fever takes over.

Swing Your Partner
6 pp

When wandering musicians Sharp and Flat arrive at a struggling settler colony, they discover that the land's reputation for being jinxed is hiding something far more sinister—a scheme by the smooth-talking Carson to swindle the desperate settlers out of their property. After overhearing Carson's confession at a party, the two musicians uncover the truth about poisoned water and set out to expose the con before more families lose everything. It's a tale of frontier justice served with fiddles and fists, as Sharp and Flat prove that good music and quick thinking can turn the tables on a would-be land grabber.
