Tex Ritter Western #9

In "Bullet Blackout," Tex Ritter rides into a town on the edge of chaos, only to be felled by a bullet and left with no memory—his identity erased, his past a blank. With the outlaw Catamount Harlan on the loose and bent on killing the very men who jailed him, Tex finds himself mistaken for a fugitive, caught between a town's desperate justice and a killer's revenge.

Tex Ritter discovers two notorious killers—Shale Dawson and Piney Mosher—have arrived in Durand Flats and are using a cowardly young hand named Johnny to help them pull off a robbery on the Circle O ranch, threatening Nancy Olson's life to keep him compliant. When Johnny's nerve finally breaks, Tex must trail the outlaws to their hideout and face down the murderous pair himself to save both the girl and the boy who's about to learn what real courage means.

Tex Ritter takes on a deadly killer known as the Spider, who's terrorized the town with black widow spiders and extortion demands, forcing the ranger to lay a trap at Cactus Creek to unmask the murderer once and for all. When a confrontation turns brutal—with the Spider blinding Tex with sand and nearly strangling him—the ranger must rely on instinct and cunning to survive and expose the killer's true identity. It's a tense Western showdown where brains and grit prove as deadly as any gun.
