Grover was really Australian author Len Meares, who wrote "Larry and Streak" westerns, "Big Jim" westerns, and lots and lots of others in his prolific career.
Larry and Streak are comedically laconic, but also with an almost supernatural ability to fight rooms full of owlhoots and shoot without a miss. Some editions call them "Larry and Stretch" and appear under "Marshall McCoy," confounding everything further.
To me, these are very rare to find in the wild, so I was happy to luck into this at a goodbye price at a used book shop. They are meant to read quickly and enjoy, as I did on a camping trip.
