Shotgun Surrender

Girls are a pain in the neck - most always being attracted to the wrong guys. Dusty McCall was no exception. She was trying her darndest to attract the attention of Boone Rasmussen. Just because he appeared to be dark and dangerous. Ty Coltrane was the neighbor next door who was developing his reputation for his Appaloosa's reining abilities. He spent a bit of time getting Dusty out of scrapes. Now she wanted his help in learning how to attract a man. The story centers around the rodeo rough stock and especially the bucking bulls. Ty didn't pay much attention to his helper, Clayton T. Brooks and his mutterings about the bull, Devil's Tornado and something called Little Joe. Was there a fast one being pulled? Monte Edgewood had taken in Boone and treated him like a son, even looking the other way when his young wife, Sierra, had an affair with Boone. Then the killings started - first Clayton then the vet Waylon Dobbs and it looked like Dusty was next. And all because she picked up something from the rodeo grounds. Sheriff Cash McCall was on the track of who every tried to scare Dusty on her way home from the rodeo. Now he had a murder to solve. There were problems building at the home ranch with Asa and Shelby - he had to tell his children the mistakes he had commited and endangered the Sundown Ranch. Yet strangely enough, the man who had been feuding with him, Mason VanHorn helped put Asa's mind at rest. Check out Letty Arnold, Dusty's best friend and the investigator Letty hired, Hal Branson. Oh, Oh, don't forget Lamar Nichols, Boone's half brother, who was a danger to all. DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED - a decent conclusion to the McCall's Saga
