Marshal John Beck was the law in the dangerous town of Mother Lode, Arizona. On his own, he'd managed to keep bandits, rustlers, and desperados at bay. It was a tough job for one man to handle, but he made it work...until the day Bram Hogan and his Brickhouse Gang got the drop on the lawman. They beat Beck to within an inch of his life and dropped him in the desert, where nothing but a slow, painful death awaited him. But the gang underestimated Beck. Even at his lowest point, he found a way to survive.

A deeply divided nation. A shamelessly partisan media. A president loathed by half the populace. Smuggling and gang warfare along the Mexican border. Armed citizens willing to stand their ground and take law into their own hands.... That was America in 1881. All those forces came to bear on the afternoon of October 26 when Doc Holliday and the Earp brothers faced off against the Clantons and the McLaurys in Tombstone, Arizona. It should have been a simple misdemeanor arrest. Thirty seconds and 30 bullets later, three officers were wounded, and three citizens lay dead in the dirt.

Riding into the town of Smoky River on a mangy mule, Dane looks as broken-down as his old mount. His Stetson is ragged, his boots are tied together with leather thongs, and he wears a Colt Army revolver with exactly three bullets. He wouldn't know what to say if you asked him where he got the gun or how he learned to shoot it so well. He doesn't know if Dane is his first name or his last. Something happened that cost him much of his memory, and he can't remember what that something was. For three years he's been traveling the West as a cowboy, a buffalo hunter, a farmhand.

Publisher's Summary
In this Ralph Compton Western, the Strange twins find themselves in double trouble....
Young Jed and Tim Strange lost their father to an outlaw's bullet, and now, their mother has succumbed to a fatal illness. Unable to farm their land due to a lack of funds, the twins set out to find their sister - who left home to avenge their father's death more than a year ago.
Farm life hasn't prepared the twins for the rough-and-tumble cow towns west of Missouri. Before they even begin their search, they're accused of a murder they didn't commit. Just barely escaping a posse's rope, the twins are on the run - wounded, hounded by the law, and desperately seeking the true killers....

Daneal is now Danny
I enjoyed this book. I'm still stuck on how she can hide her gender for all that time but I didn't dwell on it too long. Lots of action. Hopefully the next book will have a dog added to the cast of characters. That would make the last book in the series perfect

Who is Danny Dugging?
Ralph Compton is one of my favorite Aurthor's. I have read or listened to many of his Audio Books and he has never disappointed me . He knows what most Western enthusiasts want in this genre and he comes through.
This the story of the Strange family wanting revenge on the men that killed their Pa.
They robbed him and left him swinging from a Oak tree by the road one day. No spoiler's, because I hate it when someone does that in a review.
This is one of my favorite stories, filled with lots of action to keep me not wanting to put the book down.
I also liked the Narrator, Jason Culp who did a fantastic job. He had the voices of many characters to switch between and make them sound the same as before. He also has the knack for emerging you into the situation at hand. It is almost like watching a movie the way he describes each character. It makes the story more interesting when one gives you a feeling of what the environment is like. I applaud him for not being one of those sucking chest breather's, they only anoy me.
I'm summary, I will say if you read or listen to this story, I promise you, if you want to know how the Old West was in the eighteen hundreds, you found it. Also, this story has a surprising twist at the end I wasn't expecting.
