Bannerman the Enforcer 39: The Rawhiders (A Bannerman the Enforcer Western)

Out in the Texas badlands, Yancey Bannerman was hunting a ruthless killer named Tallis. But his thoughts were really with his partner, Johnny Cato, who was back in Austin, undergoing multiple operations to fix his ruined gun-arm. If Johnny didn’t regain the use of his arm, he was as good as finished.
In the meantime, a young brother and sister facing financial ruin embarked upon an audacious plan to get rich quick. The only trouble was, it meant crossing a psychotic killer known as The Mad Major. Once that happened, there could be no going back. They might have settled their money worries, but there was no telling when the Major and his gang of cutthroats would finally track them down and take their revenge.
Then Fate seemed to throw them a lifeline when Yancey rode into their lives. What they didn’t know was that the Major and Yancey were enemies from way back, and the Major had a score to settle with him, as well …
In the end, the lives of everyone in that remote ranch relied on one man – Johnny Cato, and an all-new, completely remodeled version of his legendary Manstopper pistol!
