Synopsis

From the bestselling masters of western fiction comes two tough frontier detectives who solve the bloodiest crimes with bravado, brains, and bullets blazing...

A killer is on the loose in the Arizona Territory. One by one, Tonto Basin ranchers are being murdered for their livestock—and the Cattle Raisers Association has hired two range detectives to catch the culprit. From the looks of them, Stovepipe Stewart and Wilbur Coleman are just another pair of high plains drifters. But with their razor-sharp detective skills and rare talent for trouble, they're the last remaining hope for one young cowboy who's been arrested for the murders. Stovepipe and Wilbur believe the boy is innocent. In short order the trail of clues leads to a secret canyon hideout, and the duo find themselves in the middle of an all-out range war—with the dirtiest gang of cutthroats, thieves, and outlaws the West has ever known...

There's just one mystery left to solve: How will they get out of this alive?

This is a Walmart exclusive read, you won't find it any where else till April 2017 new and the other option is finding it previously read at your local Used Bookstore. The sad thing with, 'the Range Detectives' is that it's written by a ghost writer, and unlike with the now defunct Ralph Compton Wes......more

Goodreads review by Tearsa on November 09, 2020

After playing a Western game I decided to try reading a “cowboy” book. I don’t know what pushed me to grab this random one off the shelf at the nearest Indigo but I am so happy I did. Out of all the books I’ve read this is my favourite. The writing style is amazing, raw and makes you feel like you h......more

The Range Detectives I have been on the lookout for a good western mystery that was not full of "typical" western things. This book looked it could fit the bill. It started out a bit slow, as it seemed the author wanted us to meet all the characters. I figured out the two characters were more than th......more
