Bowdrie : stories
\"It was a name that caused the most hardened gunmen to break out in a cold sweat. Chick Bowdrie. He could have ridden the outlaw trail, but the Texas Rangers recruited him because they didn't want to have to fight against him. Pursuing the most wanted men in the Southwest, he knew all too well the dusty trails, the bitter cattle feuds, the desperate killers, and the quiet, weather-beaten, wind-blasted towns that could explode into action with the wrong word. He had sworn to carry out the law, but there were times when he had to apply justice with his fists and his guns. They called in the Rangers to handle the tough ones, and there was never a Ranger tougher or smarter than Bowdrie.\" -- Page [4] cover.

And to whom should Bugs owe all this good luck but Deputy Sheriff Lou Ford, a man who is much more manipulative, and sinister, than he first appears. In Wild Town, Jim Thompson returns to the characters from The Killer Inside Me, the exuberantly praised novel that made his reputation, and skillfully conveys how quickly a man's life can take a turn for the worse\" --Page 4 of cover.
