It's western fun in this suspenseful thriller from Louis L'Amour. Rethel Bean brings the no nonsense Texas Ranger Chick Bowdrie to life in Rain on the Mountain Fork.
From Louis L'Amour
The stagecoach axle had broken, and the road was washed out by a landside. It was the travelers' luck to find warm shelter in an isolated sod shanty on the mountainside while rain teemed down and thunder crashed around them. But Lew Judd is nervous as he plays cards with a fellow traveler, the stage driver, and two of the three men who were in the cabin when they arrived. A quiet man in rough company, Judd is an Easterner headed for a new life in Santa Fe with his lovely yound niece, Nelly. He worries about her safety — and about the hidden money belt that holds his life's savings.
About Chick Bowdrie:
Lawman, manhunter, peacemaker–it takes a hard breed of man to survive as a Texas Ranger, but Chick Bowdrie stands head and shoulders above the rest. The rough trails are his home, from the Big Thicket to the Pecos to the border. He's dried by the desert sun and wind, scarred and toughened by uncounted gun battles, and when you look into his black eyes, it's like looking down the barrels of two .44s with their hammers drawn back. He rides in the name of justice, but he lives by his own law–Bowdrie's Law. And if you're thinking about walking on the wrong side of Bowdrie's Law, you'd better start running. Fast.
