Years earlier, Buck Halliday had saved Jack Butler’s life. Butler, then a miner, had been badly injured by claim jumpers and would have died for sure had Halliday not taken a hand. As it was, he left three dead men behind him and somehow managed to drag Butler forty miles to a doctor.
Butler never forgot that, and when by chance their trails crossed again, he was determined to reward Halliday from his newly-acquired wealth.
Trouble was, there were folks around who figured that wealth had been stolen. And when the victim’s son came looking for justice, Halliday had to decide just how far he was prepared to back his old friend …
Adam Brady was one of many pseudonyms used by prolific Australian writer Desmond Robert Dunn (6 November 1929-5 May 2003). In addition to four crime novels published under his own name, Des was a tireless western writer whose career spanned more than fifty years and well in excess of 400 oaters. These quick-moving, vivid and always compelling stories appeared under such pen-names as Shad Denver, Gunn Halliday, Adam Brady, Brett Iverson, Matt Cregan, Walt Renwick and Morgan Culp. He is also said to have written a number of the ever-popular Larry Kent P.I. novels, but at this late date author attribution is almost impossible. He married and divorced twice, and had three children. He died at the age of 73 in Brisbane, Queensland.
Genre: Western
