If you hanker for a good, old fashion western with plenty of fisticuffs and gunplay, the sixth book in this bestselling series featuring two Texas cowpokes with a penchant for stirring up trouble wherever they go is exactly the yarn you're looking for.

Sidekicks Scratch Morton and Bo Creel have latched on to a pretty easy assignment, or so they think. All the two have to do to earn a healthy paycheck is escort three vicious criminals from Arkansas to Texas so that they can stand trial.

Piece of cake, right? Well, when one of them, the most dangerous one, turns out to be a woman, a beautiful one at that, Scratch and Bo discover that this job is a little more demanding than advertised!

Toss in a search for some lost treasure, a shoot-out or two and other sundry diversions and you'll see that this little junket has all the makings of a real rip-roaring, heart-pounding cowboy tale which you'll find awfully hard to set down.
