Known to everyone as the King of Crazy River, Big Vink Thorpe certainly looked like a king.

Rance Duncan, the murdered man's foreman, was determined to avenge Thorpe's death. And circumstances forced him to play a lone hand in his search for the killer.  Available only in Wheeler Western 6.

Five Star

Hawk Nielson was quick-on-the-draw, ruthless -- and the most powerful man on the range. His holdings spread over thousands of acres and his power spread from one end of the Mesa to the other. His enemies were plenty -- all those he had cheated and crushed.
Vard Whitlock had more reason to hate him than most. Land and money were the things Hawk cared about, until he had a son. Then his pride almost matched his greed. At last, Vard knew how to strike back at Hawk Nielson -- he just had to wait for the perfect opportunity. When the time was just right, Vard kidnapped the baby and hit the trail, where he began to work out the revenge demanded for Hawk Nielson. It took twenty-five years, but when the showdown finally came, it caused the most violent fight the Mesa had ever seen.
