Bowdrie (Bantam Books Western a Bantam Book)
It was a name that caused the most hardened gunmen to break out  in a cold sweat.  Chick Bowdrie.  He could have ridden the outlaw  trail, but the Texas Rangers recruited him because they didn't want to  have to fight against him.  Pursuing the most wanted men in the  Southwest he knew all too well the dusty trails, the bitter cattle  feuds, the desperate killers and the quiet, weather-beaten,  wind-blasted towns that could explode into actions with the wrong word.   He had sworn to carry out the law, but there were times when he had to  apply justice with his fists and his guns.  They called in the Rangers  to handle the tough ones and there was never a Ranger tougher or  smarter than Bowdrie.
