Fargo Brett
by
Kirk Hamilton
(Keith Hetherington)
Against his better judgment, Fargo Brett took the blame for a crime he didn’t commit, and paid the price—six months’ hard labor that damn’—near killed him. When he returned home at the end of it, however, he found that he’d been double-crossed. There was no trace of the reward he’d been promised, and in his absence his girlfriend had married his wastrel brother.
Disgusted, Fargo decided to move on and start a new life elsewhere. But it wasn’t going to be as easy as all that. With Wild Bill Talman’s rowdy trail crew heading for town, the sheriff needed a deputy—and fast. Fargo fit the bill … and went to work enforcing the law one bullet at a time …
Fargo Brett vanished six months ago, and now he’s back. But he’s not the same man. Once a hellion, he’s returned granite‑hard and dead serious. He took a prison sentence meant for his brother, believing everything would be waiting for him when he got out, including Paula.
But things changed. Paula married Fargo’s scheming brother Ned, and now Ned intends to make sure Fargo gets nothing. Even if it means killing him.
Another gripping read, the kind you finish in a single sitting. Strong writing, sharp action, and memorable characters throughout. Hetherington once again proves why he was one of Australia’s finest Western authors. 5/5.
