Silver .41

This edition has been fully restored with modern typesetting, custom cover design. Silver .41 opens in Moon River County, where Sheriff Skeeter Bill Sarg—a former horse thief turned lawman—tries to keep order in a crooked frontier world of ranches, mines, and hard-bitten towns. When federal investigator Frank Moran arrives with a baffling counterfeit-silver-dollar case, Skeeter and his sharp-tongued deputy Kaintuck Kennedy are pulled into a mystery that is as dangerous as it is absurd. Their uneasy sleuthing soon intersects with local gossip, hidden ambitions, and the arrival of suspicious strangers. At the center of the story are Curley Adams, a proud young cowboy trying to build a future at the old Box X ranch, and Joy Gregory, whose return to the HG ranch stirs romance, rivalry, and family tension. As political boss Monk Clark watches the situation closely, tempers flare and violence follows, including Curley's decisive punch that sends Moran sprawling. Meanwhile, a saloon clash with Frisco Larkin exposes another thread of trouble: rustling, branding schemes, and a Colt .41 that may unlock the larger conspiracy. Wry, rough, and fast-moving, this Western mixes humor, lawman ingenuity, and frontier danger.
