Few men deserved a bullet more than the man called Sundance. But his killer unwittingly set in motion a chain of events that few could have foreseen. A man named Brandon had been about to hire Sundance for a mystery job. When he got wind of it, Texas Governor Lester Dukes was determined to find out just what it was. So he called in Yancey Bannerman, with orders to go undercover, and posing as Sundance, blow whatever crooked scheme it was wide-open.
Yancey and his gun-swift partner Johnny Cato, met violence at every turn and almost died on the Mexican desert they called the White Hell. But the real shock was still to come ... when Bannerman discovered just who Brandon really was.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

As well as writing under the pen name of Hank J. Kirby, Australian writer Keith has also worked as television scriptwriter on such Australian TV shows as Homicide, Matlock Police, Division 4, Solo One, The Box, The Spoiler and Chopper Squad. His thrillers are published under his own name.

"I always liked writing little vignettes, trying to describe the 'action' sequences I saw in a film or the Saturday Afternoon Serial at local cinemas," remembers Keith Hetherington, better-known to Piccadilly Publishing readers as 'Hank J. Kirby', author of the Bronco Madigan series. "Then, when I was in my teens I had an accident at work and spent a week at home recuperating. During that time I read a story called Jailbreak Justice in a book of cowboy stories and thought I could write as good or better yarn. I filled a dozen or so pages in an exercise book, called it The Texan (very original) and mailed it away. A couple of months later I received a cheque for six pounds fifteen shillings. After that I began writing fairly regularly and Cleveland Publications asked for novels of about 40,000 words."

Keith went on to pen hundreds of westerns (the figure varies between 600 and 1000) under the names 'Kirk Hamilton' (including the legendary Bannerman the Enforcer series) and Clay Nash as 'Brett Waring'. Keith also worked as a journalist for the Queensland Health Education Council, writing weekly articles for newspapers on health subjects and radio plays dramatizing same.

"I must have been mad, but can still remember belting out a series on Smoking and Lung Cancer with a packet of cigarettes beside my typewriter - and going through them mighty fast!"
