Ralph Compton the Burning Range by Joseph A West

Ralph Compton the Burning Range by Joseph A West

For a gambler caught in a land war, the stakes are life and death in this Ralph Compton western.

A plague of brutal killings has descended on the town of Green Meadow, Oklahoma. At the scene of every grisly murder, a threatening message reads simply: GET OUT.

A mysterious villain known only as the Fat Man is causing a ton of trouble. He wants the town--or rather the black gold flowing beneath it--and he's willing to wipe out every man, woman, and child to get it.

Only two men stand in his way--seedy gambler Chauncey Drake and scrappy Pinkerton agent Reuben Withers. Against all odds, these underdogs will need to force-feed the Fat Man a steady diet of hot lead--or Green Meadow will flow red before it flows black.
