Part nestor, part cowman and the rest polecat – that was Jim Bore, a foundling whose origin was cloaked in mystery and who had come back to the country shadowed by the Hatchet Range to avenge the murder of his kindly foster father ten years previously. When Jim found Dake Boisot, whom he had sworn to kill, who was a cripple on whom he could not lay hands, he directed the strength of his fists and the deadliness of his gun against Sam Hale, Boisot’s ranch boss and sworn enemy of all the homesteaders.

A killer when aroused, Jim vanquished the outlaws in hard fought combat, achieved vengeance in a manner he had not foreseen, and found a father as well.


The Lazy L Brand was published in the U.K. two years later.
