Donovan

A Texas sheriff hunts for a vengeful outlaw long thought dead: "If there's an heir to the Louis L'Amour legacy, it's Kelton." —Booklist

Donovan was supposed to be dead. The town of Dry Fork in southern Texas had buried him years before after Uncle Joe Vickers fired off both barrels of a shotgun into the vicious outlaw's face as he was escaping from jail. Now, Uncle Joe has been shot—in just the same way. And Judge Upshaw has found a noose hanging on his door. It looks as though Donovan is back—gunning for the people who tracked him down and tried him.

Sheriff Webb Matlock, a stern, quiet man, has more than one reason to find Donovan. Matlock is in love with the woman he'd believed to be Donovan's widow; moreover, there are rumors that his hotheaded younger brother might have joined up with Donovan's gang.

For his own peace of mind, and to protect the townspeople who've been threatened, Matlock decides to slip across the border, find Donovan in his Mexican hideout, and bring him back—or kill him . . .
