“Nonstop action with a Mark Twain twist.” — True West
With ruthless bankers, corrupt businessmen and hired gunmen closing in, Chinook must uncover a trail of forgery, cattle rustling, sabotage and murder before time runs out. Armed with little more than his wits, courage and a trusted Colt Peacemaker, he’ll fight to save his family’s legacy and earn the right to become the Cattle King.
Fast-paced, suspenseful and filled with justice, clever twists, memorable characters and authentic Western action, Cattle King for a Day delivers the adventure and satisfying triumph that have made classic Western fiction an enduring favorite.

Also included is Come and Get It, where Eastern tenderfoot Bill Norton arrives in Wyoming expecting to inherit his father’s ranch, only to discover it has been stolen. Forced to take a job as a ranch cook, he sets out to uncover the truth behind his father’s death and reclaim what is rightfully his.
