A Bullet for Billy (Western Standard Series)

Captain Gus Rodgers of the Texas Rangers is dying -- and he's determined that before his time is up, he'll free his grandson from a Mexican prison. To do it, he'll need the help of Jim Glass.

The trouble is, the Federale general holding his grandson wants the head of the boy's brother, Billy, who has already confessed to murdering the general's daughter. Gus believes Billy deserves to die, but the old ranger's worried he won't live long enough to do the deed -- which is where Jim Glass comes in. Gus's wild grandsons may be a lot of things -- brutal, ignorant, and dangerous, to name just three -- but they may not actually be guilty of this particular crime. And when the truth comes out, there's bound to be a war. No one's going to escape unbloodied . . .
