Scurrilous: A Western Frontier Adventure
A boy on the run from the Yankee law.
A riverboat gambler earning his living with stacked decks.
A scurrilous education in guile.
Hooch Wooten taught Early Bascomb everything he knew about cheating, at cards and at life. He treated Early like a son, or at least, he treated him like a partner in his underhanded schemes.
Years later, when Hooch Wooten finds himself in a pot of boiling water, he calls on Early and his friend Hector Espinoza to bail him out.
But Hooch Wooten is still a cheat, at cards and at life, and his scheming drags Heck and Early right into the pot with him. And they may find that the only way out is from behind their Colt six-shooters.
If you love fast-paced, gritty Westerns where you can smell the gunsmoke and feel the punch of the Henry rifle against your shoulder, then saddle up and ride along on the next adventure with Heck & Early. The coffee is strong, the horses are fast, and time is running out to save that scurrilous rapscallion.

Trouble rides the trails and finds the gambler in a blaze of gunfire
An old grudge brings a burn scarred face and his sons seeking revenge and only luck and the forces of nature hold the keys to survival. Interesting characters in an old west setting. Worth the time.

A sucker for westerns.
Love shoot-em up westerns. Lots of action, lots of good guys and bad guys. Just a fun read. Can't wait to read the next one.

Not his best effort!
Too much detail about rocks and trees. Unrealistic plots. His previous books were all much bet.ter than this one. Try harder next time.

They simply don't get much better than this. Peecher had me burning through this story. I'd set limits on the amount of time I could spend reading and then read right through.
