Tex Ritter Western #39

When Tex Ritter rolls into booming Clareville—transformed overnight by a copper strike—he finds the town caught between the old guard who want law and order and a ruthless schemer named Lew Ackers who's using his newspaper, the Clarion, to stir up the miners and consolidate power before the upcoming election. Tex determines to stop Ackers' manipulation, and when words won't work, his Colts settle the score.

A quiet drifter arrives in Mustang Flats hoping for a fresh start, but the town is terrorized by Faver's gang—and they've got other plans for the stranger. When a series of confrontations force Sam Byers to buckle his guns back on, he learns that Seth Dawes lured him to town for a reason: the townspeople need someone willing to stand against Faver and reclaim their home. It's a western where a man trying to leave violence behind discovers he might be exactly what a desperate town needs.
