Yes, "Cash Laramie and the Masked Devil" by David Cranmer (writing as Edward A. Grainger) is one of the 21 new stories of the Old West awaiting you in A Fistful of Legends. And it's a corker!Deputy U.S. Marshal Cash Laramie has a problem. His job is to recover $85,000 of federal money stolen from one of his fellow marshals. Trouble is, that marshal had his head chopped off by a masked rider with horns and a flashing cutlass. Lucky for Cash, he's equipped with a keen intellect, a sure-fire aim, and a surprising ace in the hole.
David Cranmer's prose sparkles with wry humor in this action-packed mystery. Cash Laramie is an engaging Old West detective, and I've a feeling readers will be begging for his return.
I'm glad you enjoyed the story and I'm looking forward to reading the others including "The Pride of the Crocketts."
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to read this - my copy should be here soon. I'll have to ask David where he got that pen name.
ReplyDeleteDave, I was trying to be good and read these stories in the order they appear in the book. Now you're just messing with my head.
ReplyDeleteI was planning on reviewing the stories in order, then realized our Special Offer period is almost up, and wanted to call it to the attention of David's many BEAT TO A PULP fans.
ReplyDeleteEnticing review, Dave, thanks. You'll be pleased to hear that David is working on a full-length excursion for Cash.
