Challenge the Legend

Larry & Stretch #333

by Marshall Grover

They all came to Tragg City, Colorado, for the town's 25th anniversary. Murderous Billy Malneck was in the County Jail, and his brother and six other outlaws were planning on breaking him out. A celebrity-hating San Francisco writer had arrived, craving to expose two Texas Trouble-Shooters as no-accounts. Doc Beaumont was bent on pitting his skill against three famous gamblers. And the Trouble-Shooters had ridden in. So it would be a day to remember.
