Bannerman the Enforcer 14: The Toughest Man in Texas (A Bannerman the Enforcer Western)

A king’s ransom in gold had was stolen in a violent bank-raid right in the heart of San Francisco, and the President himself gave orders for Yancey Bannerman to retrieve it. That meant going up against a kill-crazy outlaw named Brad Stewart, and Stewart’s own personal bodyguard, a fellow-psychopath called Catlin, who claimed to be the toughest man in Texas.
With Yancey’s partner, Johnny Cato, on a mission up in Canada, Yancey would have to face the outlaws alone. But that was just fine with him … because the bank Stewart had robbed was owned by his father, C.B. And Stewart’s raid had left C.B. lung-shot and facing almost certain death, while his brother, Chuck, looked certain to face the rest of his days from a wheelchair.
For Bannerman the Enforcer it was just about as personal as it could get.
And he wouldn’t rest until he saw Stewart, Catlin and their entire cutthroat gang dead.
