Texas Standoff

A gripping tale of mystery and justice in the wild west, where Texas Rangers Andy Pickard and Logan Daggett must navigate a complex web of cattle thefts, murders, and masked vigilantes.
In Elmer Kelton's Texas Standoff, Rangers Pickard and Daggett are dispatched to central Texas to investigate a series of killings and cattle thefts. The two biggest cattlemen in the area point fingers at each other, but Andy suspects neither man is guilty. The case takes a turn with the emergence of a gang of "regulators" - masked vigilantes - and the arrival of a notorious hired gun whose employer remains unknown.
As tensions mount, the murder of a captured regulator and a dramatic standoff in the county jail lead the Rangers to uncover the truth behind the crimes. Among the culprits is a surprising figure, and in a final twist of irony, the State of Texas sends a telegram notifying the Rangers their services are no longer needed.
Kelton's masterful western novel brings to life the lawlessness and grit of the American frontier, delivering a riveting story of honor, justice, and unexpected revelations. Texas Standoff is a must-read for fans of western fiction and historical novels alike.
