In Black Rock, Jim Gatlin, having just completed a trail drive to Montana, finds himself in the small cattle town of Tucker where an attempt is made on his life in a restaurant. This case of mistaken identity plunges Gatlin into a situation of intrigue against which there is nothing he can do but fight for his life. The Trail to Crazyman is an exceptional short novel. Shanghaied into forced labour on a merchant vessel, Charles Rodney dies aboard from repeated beatings - but not before deeding part of his Wyoming ranch to fellow prisoner Rafe Caradec, who he hopes will protect his family. When Caradec escapes, that is exactly what he intends to do. But survival proves more difficult than he had expected.
