Texas Rangers in Action #47

Texas Ranger Rudd Ferril tracks two bank robbers to a remote cabin in the badlands, only to find an old acquaintance, Nick Riddo, already there—a man Ferril had once hoped might join the Rangers himself. When the outlaws make their move, Ferril and Riddo must work together to survive, forcing Riddo to prove what kind of man he's really become.

Roger Deel gave up his badge for love, trading the Texas Rangers for a quiet life as a store clerk—until his old nemesis One-Eye Metzger broke out of jail with vengeance on his mind. When duty and danger come calling at his doorstep, Deel must choose between the safety his wife demanded and the man he was born to be.

Ranger Ave Arnold rides into the rough boomtown of End-of-Track to help P.J. Dawson, a former border rider turned respectable citizen, root out the owlhooters plaguing the settlement—but Arnold quickly discovers the real trouble runs deeper, with Dawson and his older cronies using their grip on the town's businesses to control who votes and how. When Arnold insists on holding an open, honest election, the competing factions clash in a brutal power play that forces the ranger to sort out who truly deserves to run the town.

A Ranger passing through Cottonwood Grove spots trouble—a wounded cowboy, a seemingly peaceful town that's anything but—and recognizes one of the men behind it all: Jess Kindo, a wanted outlaw who's taken over the settlement with his gang to rob the steady stream of cattlemen, prospectors, and travelers passing through. Ranger Morse Winters devises a clever plan to slip undercover operatives into town and flush out the criminals before they can strike again. It's a taut showdown between cunning lawmen and ruthless outlaws in a town built on deception.
