A Whizzer on Willer Crick

Sleepy Stevens and Hashknife Hartley are hard-riding cowboys with a gift for trouble and a dry, ironical wit that keeps them going when the West turns mean. Their path to Willer Crick begins with a newspaper tale of a silver-mounted saddle, outlaw riders, and a country where luck is crooked and justice comes on horseback. At Pemberton, they enter a bucking contest for prize money and nearly lose everything after spotting a familiar enemy in the crowd, escaping on two vicious broncs and riding straight into another frontier tangle. A runaway horse, a sharp-tongued young woman named Glory, and a warning to stay away from Willer Crick only make them more determined to press on. There, they inherit the ranch, land, cattle, and a copper mine from the dying Ebenezer O. Godfrey, only to learn the property is a trouble-ridden white elephant. With the body missing, gunfire in the brush, feuding families, hidden dynamite, and outsiders trying to drive them off, Sleepy and Hashknife must use bluff, nerve, and quick shooting to hold their claim.
