A Family Affair

The Traybo brothers have a reputation for being gentleman outlaws—the kind who will make polite chatter as they take your life savings. But Ranger Samuel Burrack has no sympathy for those who show poor manners when it comes to obeying the law. He’s traveled as far as the Mexican Badlands to pick up the Traybo brothers’ ex-cohort Fatch Hardaway to lead him to his prey.

Burrack isn’t alone on his pursuit. Ranger Dallas Garand and his gang let the Traybo brothers slip through their fingers during a robbery once before, and they don’t plan on letting history repeat. Instead of joining forces with Burrack to create a unified front, though, Garand is going his own way. It’s Garand against Burrack on the trail of these criminal brothers—and may the best ranger win....
