Manning was a name to conjure with. In former years Flint Manning had ridden Bootjack Basin with the law's badge on his vest, and had built himself into a legend.
Cole Manning bore the name, too—but Cole was lust someone who was supposed to live up to his father's reputation. Then Cole discovered that his father had been human — human enough to make one mistake, it was up to him to rectify that mistake...
Fair western as young man fights to overcome his father's reputation as a great lawman. To do so he must solve a 20-year old stagecoach robbery of gold and jewels. Starts slow but the ending is good. Recommended to fans of westersn.
