Old Ben Hillary had a rustling problem—a bad one. Somehow the cattle-lifters were able to strike time and again, always where they were least expected, and then vanish into the wilderness with their stolen beeves. When his hired hand, Buck Halliday, came up with a plan to beat them, Ben was all for it. But no one could foresee the bitter price he would have to pay ...
To make matters worse, Ben’s brazen young daughter, Dora, had set her sights on Halliday, and that put Halliday at odds with the old man’s bullying foreman, Adam Wyatt. When the showdown came, Halliday wasn’t sure he could trust Wyatt to stand by him. In fact, he was pretty sure the man would take the first chance he could put a bullet in his back!
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.
