Buchanan is a hired gun with his own sense of honor, roaming the Old West; when he rescues a Mexican girl, and then her hotheaded brother, his code almost gets him killed in Jonas Ward's The Name's Buchanan.
This is the first of a long series of Westerns starring the stalwart Buchanan, who almost takes a backseat at times in this story as the tensions play out between a noble Mexican family and a murderous clan north of the border who hold sway over a corrupt town.
Buchanan was created by pulp writer William Ard, who writes in a hardboiled style that compliments the brawny cowboy overtones. After he died, the series was written by others, and the other one I posted about on this blog was by a different author (and with a noticeable dropoff in quality). Fortunately I came across a few more from Ard's tenure, and I am eager to check them out.
I was sent this for my beloved Kindle by my new pals at Prologue Books and read it quickly.
