Born to Trouble

Just a routine job. That’s what the Captain said when he gave young Jimmy Trammell his first Ranger assignment. “Find out who’s looting the Tailholt mine, catch him and bring him in.” But the town of shafts was an armed camp, and within hours Jimmy had bleeding knuckles, a gun crease on his head and a knife wound in his back. And murder isn’t routine, not when Jimmy was in jail, accused of shooting a man in the back and the Marshal was measuring him for a rope necktie while guns waited outside, wanting him to try a break.
