WELCOME HOME, KID When Jim Dunn, better known as the Kid, rode into his old home town of Cairo, he figured he'd have to shoot fast. He figured they'd remember his saloon-wrecking sprees and hell-raising exploits of old. What he didn't figure on was finding his father six feet under and his brand-new stepmother running the family ranch with an outlaw crew. Nobody, not even his girl, thought Jim could get the ranch back from the fast-drawing gang hired by his stepmother. But the Kid had swapped lead with the best of them in the three years he was freewheeling around the West. And when his best friend catches a bullet that was meant for him, the Kid gets mad.

Book excerpt: SPUR AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR Bill Varney is twenty-three years old and resents the way he has been treated by his father, ruthless ranch owner Old Mike Varney; he is just a hired hand on the Pitchfork Ranch, sleeping in the bunkhouse with the other hands. If Old Mike had ever cared about anybody, it's Bill's twin sister, Vida. She lives in the ranch house with her father and cares deeply about the old man. Bill's girl friend, Marian Tracey, who operates a millinery shop in the nearby town of Broken Nose, is so distracted by the constant care demanded by her ailing mother that she cannot make a commitment to Bill. But it does seem that Marian might make a commitment to rich storekeeper Phil Nider, a man twice her age. Then a gunman named Ace Kehoe comes to Broken Nose and declares that he intends to have a showdown with Old Mike. Although Old Mike is impaired by arthritis, the old man won't back down to anyone, including some upstart gunfighter. Vida pleads with Bill to intervene and take on Ace Kehoe himself. Bill is convinced that even if he does take Old Mike's place in a showdown with Ace Kehoe, and lives through it, it won't earn him anything but more of Old Mike's stubborn contempt. In every way Bill stands to lose everything, his life as well as any chance for happiness.
