 A Bullet is Faster

Big Jim #22

By

Marshall Grover

(Len Meares)


Don't quote me but from what I can gather this book was first published around 1965/66. However, both covers look good. 
What appears to be a straightforward murder case is anything but simple. Amos Lanfield faces the gallows in a trial no rational lawyer would dare to take on. The case seems utterly hopeless. Yet, Julia Rigby, a determined female lawyer, has a different plan. She not only wants to represent the supposed killer, she figures she can win. But someone doesn't want her digging too deep.
Enter Jim Rand. Former cavalryman now hunter of Jenner, the man who killed his brother. Julia needs someone to look after her and Big Jim is just the man. 
Then when the final blazing showdown came, only one man would stand tall--Big Jim.   




A classic Len Mears western—lighthearted, with a touch of comedy, a dash of mystery, and a simple yet engaging story that’s well-written and entertaining. Like many of his westerns, it follows the timeless good vs. bad theme. I read a lot of his books as a kid, and they’re just as enjoyable now as they were back then.
