The Winning Hand

Tracker #1

by Robert J. Randisi

"JUST TRACKER, MA'AM" It took just one hard-drinking, high-rolling poker game to make Tracker the owner of one of the fanciest hotels in San Francisco. With his buddy Duke Farrell, one of the West's slickest con men, Tracker took off to see his new merchandise. Tracker barely had time to get used to San Francisco's city ways before he was caught up in a boxing match, a couple of gunfights, too many fistfights, and more pretty women then even he could keep track of. But then, Tracker was always good with his hands.

Alcoholics

Not a too bad western, but I find it hard to believe all the beer drinking that goes on. The characters must have a lot of money to afford all that booze.

Excellent entertaining book about Tracker. What does he do? What did he do? Turns out he is a salvage expert, he recovers your losese for a percentage.
