Filled with non-stop action, this addition to Jim Miller's sharp-shooting Western series takes readers on a ride with Marshal Will Carston as he arrives in Curious, Texas to apprehend a notorious horse thief, only to wonder if he still has what it takes to look a killer right in the eye...and stay alive. Marshal Will Carston has set out on the ride from Twin Rifles to the aptly named town of Curious, Texas, to apprehend horse thief Kyle Garret. But when a man with a long memory starts stirring up trouble at the Twin Rifles boarding house and two unwanted companions burden Carston's journey, he knows he is out on a limb and faced with a daunting task. Accompanied by brash, nineteen-year-old gambler, Bill Hardy and a worn-out buffalo hunter named Buckskin, ex-Ranger Carston must face gunshots, traitors, and traps on his mission to catch Garret. On the merciless frontier, a man and his sons were Texas Rangers--until the Civil War marked the end of their famed rough-riding legion. Now in a land of violence and brutality, scarred by war and uneasy peace, the Carstons face off against rustlers and Comancheros, tame lawless towns, and uphold the Ranger code in the Ex-Rangers series by Jim Miller.
