Tucker
(Book)

"'If a man won't fight for what is rightly his, then he ain't much account.' With this challenge from his dying father, young Shell Tucker rode out after three men who had stolen the twenty thousand dollars his father was carrying. Two of the men he hunted, Doc Sites and Kid Reese, were his friends. Dreaming of adventure, Tucker had wanted to join their gang. But now, with his father gone and the people back home desperately in need of the proceeds from the cattle drive, Shell was determined to uphold his father's reputation and recover their money. He knew the odds were against him. Finding his friends would be difficult. Getting the money back would be nearly impossible. Three gunslingers ambushed Shell Tucker's father, stealing his gold and leaving the man to die. But when Shell rides out in pursuit of the outlaws, crossing Comanche territory and searching through rough frontier towns, he finds more than revenge at the end of his bloody trail."--,provided by publisher.
