Description: The three novellas collected here showcase Max Brand's outstanding ability to create living, breathing characters whose unforgettable exploits linger long after the last page is turned. In "The Canon Coward," you'll meet Harry Clonnell, a tracker who refuses to carry a gun and shuns violence yet has somehow earned the reputation of one of the most notorious bandits around. Outlaw Lefty Richards is put in quite a bind when his dying friend asks him to turn over his guns to the local sheriff in "A Wolf Among Dogs." And Speedy, one of Brand's most enduring characters, takes on the job of sheriff in "Seven-Day Lawman"--a job where no man has ever lasted longer than a week.
