(Book 20 in the Floating Outfit series)
A novel by

 
 
The pattern was always the same when the Bad Bunch made their raids. They chose their time when there was a county fair, or some such diversion, to take folks minds off the protection of their property. Then they'd start a fire in another part of town, so that all the local lawmen and officials would have their hands full with that. Then they'd move in on their chosen target.
To catch them seemed easy enough for Dusty Fog, Mark Counter and the Ysabel Kid. All they had to do was wait for a county fair, watch out for a fire, and then make sure they were at the bank in time to stop the planned robbery.
But even the floating outfit found the Bad Bunch a mite tricker than expected!

J.T. Edson was a former British Army dog-handler who wrote more than 130 Western novels, accounting for some 27 million sales in paperback. Edson's works - produced on a word processor in an Edwardian semi at Melton Mowbray - contain clear, crisp action in the traditions of B-movies and Western television series. What they lack in psychological depth is made up for by at least twelve good fights per volume. Each portrays a vivid, idealized "West That Never Was", at a pace that rarely slackens.
