Texas Rangers in Action #30

A ranger arrives in town with a prisoner he treats brutally—but the townspeople soon learn the truth: the "ranger" is actually Ralph Linekin, a killer, and his captive is Mike Durfee, a fellow ranger being dragged toward the Mexican border. Another lawman picks up the trail, racing against time to stop Linekin before he crosses the Rio Grande and disappears into Mexico for good.

Ranger Pike Slocum pursues a desperate fugitive named Deering across two hundred miles of brutal Texas frontier, determined to track him down before he reaches a gang of outlaws waiting ahead. When Slocum finally corners his quarry at a remote camp, a tense confrontation unfolds—one that neither man expected to take the turn it does. A hard-won fight and a shocking revelation test whether this ranger can reach the young man before circumstances push him past the point of no return.

When charming railroad representative Russel B. Wadsworth arrives in town and begins courting the lovely Polly Garrett, the Masked Raider suspects his intentions aren't as romantic as they seem—and moves to interfere. But as Polly finds herself caught between the smooth-talking stranger and a local man who cares deeply for her, the Masked Raider's meddling forces a confrontation that will reveal everyone's true character.

Whitey Dawes is a vicious albino outlaw whose pale skin and light-sensitive eyes make him a creature of the darkness—striking fast and deadly when the sun goes down. When the outlaw raids nearby River's Bend and the people of Pike's Ford panic, Sheriff Sam Keyes arrests him, but the frightened townspeople pressure the aging lawman into releasing the prisoner, believing a promise of peace will save them from his gang's vengeance. As Whitey returns to Pike's Ford with blood in his eyes, looking for the sheriff who dared cage him, Sam must draw on something far more valuable than a quick gun hand to protect his town and his son.
