2 y separately published work icon Guns of Texas Kirk Hamilton , Sydney : Cleveland , 1977 12282029 1977 single work novel western

'The cold-blooded murder of rancher Abe Summers led to a surprising discovery—a long-lost treasure of Spanish reàls, escudos, doubloons and pieces of eight!

'Abe’s land-grabbing neighbour, Nathan Cross, wanted that treasure all to himself, and was prepared to have his hired gun, Lang Brodie, kill to get it.

'But then Governor Dukes got involved, and quickly discovered that the coins were only half the story. There was something else still waiting to be unearthed, a treasure of far greater value than the coins ...

'So Dukes sent his two top Enforcers, Yancey Bannerman and Johnny Cato, down to the Sabine River country to help Abe’s college professor daughter find ... The Guns of Texas!'

2 y separately published work icon The Enforcer Kirk Hamilton , Sydney : Cleveland , 1974 12176086 1974 single work novel western

'The Bannerman business empire spread right across the west, but Yancey Bannerman, the oldest son of magnate C.B. Bannerman, wasn’t interested in all that wealth—at least, not if he had to sit behind a pile of ledgers and accounts to earn it. Yancey preferred the wide-open, adventurous life ... and that was why C.B. disowned him.

'To C.B.’s way of thinking, Yancey was little more than a black sheep. And anyway, he had another son, Chuck, and a daughter named Mattie, to rely on.
But C.B. should have looked a little closer to home to find the real black sheep of the family. Chuck was up to his eyes in gambling debts, and that made him a desperate man ... just desperate enough to try robbing the Governor of Texas himself!
Before he knew it, Yancey and his gun-swift partner, Johnny Cato, found themselves involved a plot to oust Governor Lester Dukes from power ... and by the end of it, each man had himself a new job—as one of the Governor’s go-anywhere, fight-anyone peacekeepers ... the Enforcers.'

2 y separately published work icon Bo Rangle's Boot Hill E. Jefferson Clay , Sydney : Cleveland , 1974 12270206 1974 single work novel western

'Duke Benedict and Hank Brazos were closing in on Bo Rangle, the man they’d sworn to kill; the same man whose gang of cutthroats had massacred hundreds throughout the late Civil War. And Bo Rangle knew it. He planned to dig up the Confederate gold he’d stolen at the Battle of Pea Ridge and high-tail it to Mexico. If anyone got in his way … But still Benedict and Brazos kept after their quarry. They survived ambushes, shootouts, and the Lizard River. Once they dealt with Rangle, though, they’d have to settle with each other!'

'The south lost the War Between the States, but landowner Stanton Claiborne emerged a financial winner. He moved his family into the heart of Union country at war’s end. The resident Northerners were living a hand-to-mouth existence, and didn’t take appreciate a rich Southerner lording it over them. The stage was set for a war, and Duke Benedict and Hank Brazos rode straight into it. Unseen forces were determined to make Clairborne’s family suffer for their own gain. Before peace was declared again, men would die …'

2 y separately published work icon Kid Chaney's Express E. Jefferson Clay , Sydney : Cleveland , 1973 12269367 1973 single work novel western

'Mack Halligan and Kid Chaney were bitter rivals. They ran rival outlaw gangs — Halligan’s was hopeless, while Kid Chaney’s was successful — and they loved the same woman. When Duke Benedict’s new horse was stolen, the gambling man made it his mission to track down Chaney and take the animal back. His big partner, Hank Brazos, figured to put Kid Chaney behind bars, so Mack Halligan could marry the girl of his dreams and return to the straight and narrow. That was a big ‘if’  since the woman loved both outlaws!'

'It looked as though Duke Benedict and Hank Brazos would finally ride their separate ways. Benedict was preparing to marry the beautiful Charity Flint, and return east. First, their old friend Colonel Oliver Traven was desperate to make one last search for his son, who went missing in Llano Estacado — the Staked Plains —  three years earlier. Benedict and Brazos wanted to help the Colonel, but suspected tragedy lay ahead for everyone — including Benedict’s bride, who seemed eager to make a public hero of her fiancée.'
