Texas gun-hands Larry and Stretch agree to help a professor and his daughter recover gold from a web of haunted cliff dwellings in Marshall Grover's Hot Sky Over Paraiso.
Grover was Australian author Leonard Meares, whose staggering output of western writing included this series and a more sober one, Big Jim.
Larry and Stretch are almost superhuman in their fist- and gun-fighting capabilities but are good-natured and funny as well. Their stories are always plentiful in action but definitely on the lighter side with plotting.
Slightly confounding in the history of Larry and Stretch is that the American versions of these novels were credited to "Marshall McCoy" and Stretch was called "Streak." It was one of these that I found in an antique store in Arcadia, Florida, my first of these to ever find on the loose.
I read this in a single day on vacation and always enjoy this series when I come across one.
