The Wilde Boys

All Kate Whitney had to do to put Senator George Copperday away for life was take the witness stand and tell the court everything she knew. But if something happened to prevent her from giving evidence — like a well-aimed bullet for example — Copperday would go free.

The beautiful target desperately needed protection, and it came in the form of Judge Wilde’s secret army of crime-busters, ‘The Wilde Boys’, six of the toughest — and most unlikely — law-enforcers ever to slap leather.

But what should have been a routine mission turned into something far more deadly when Copperday hired a pack of vicious killers. Soon the Wilde boys were pitting both wits and weapons against the would-be assassins in a last-ditch attempt to keep Kate alive. But in the final bloody showdown, who would live and who would die?

Professor Andrew Murray and his fellow scientists were not to go up into the Texas hill country to carry out weather tests unless they had someone trail-wise along to watch them. So the Government sent in its unofficial six-man team of trouble-busters, the Wilde Boys, to play nursemaid.

For once it looked as if the west’s most reluctant lawmen had been handed a nice, quiet little assignment. But then the bullets started flying ... and in next to no time they were fighting off bushwhackers and nightriders alike.

But what was the motive behind the attacks? The scientists maintained that their work was for the common good, so who could possibly stand to benefit from their failure? If only the Wilde Boys had looked a little closer to home, they’d have realized just who the real target was!

I have a feeling these ones will be to your taste, pard.

Btw: As you know, I've never been disappointed with one of your books. I don't expect these to be any different.
