Albert Brickhouse was a financier who had ruined hundreds of people before fleeing from the United States along with his bodyguard, Victor Torreson - who was wanted for rape and murder. But because they had become naturalized citizens of Mexico they could not be extradited and were able to live openly on their ill-gotten gains.
But life in Juarez was not without problems, for they aroused the hostility of a prominent Mexican bandido and his family, and in an attempt to heal the breach Brickhouse decided to throw a fiesta, and hire extra guns for protection.
Torreson was sent into Texas to arrange matters, and there he met two men who seemed admirably suited to his needs. Comanche Blood was a half-breed, tall, lean and as deadly as his warrior ancestors. The other man was seemingly small and insignificant, but he proved to be a cold-blooded killer. The speed with which he could move and draw a gun had earned him a special name ... Rapido Clint!
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.
Genre: Western
