Lassiter is a hired gun who goes after a runaway wife with a big bounty on her head, but double and triple crosses stand between him and the reward in Jack Slade's The Man from Cheyenne.
Lassiter is a true western antihero, poured in the spaghetti western mold, and initially penned by the prolific mystery and western writer W.T. Ballard. Ballard used the well-traveled Jack Slade pseudonym for this one (as did the subsequent writers of this series).
The storytelling is hard-bitten, and a conclusion lacking redemption surprises. This early entry must have clicked with readers, as Lassiter rode the trail a long time.
I found this at a used bookstore in New Castle, Indiana and read it quickly.
