Title: One for Hell
First published: 1952
Description: When Willa Ree emerges from the boxcar, he is broke and ready for a fresh start. And Breton looks to be a town full of fresh suckers. Ben Halliday is not one of those suckers, or so he thinks. One of the town leaders, he needs a new cop with adjustable morals. Ree is the perfect fit. Unfortunately, Ree is even less subtle than Halliday had hoped. Because Ree has plans of his own. Now that he s a cop, he intends to steal every dollar he can lay his hands on, and seduce any woman he wants. This Texas oil town is ripe for the picking on all accounts. It s Willa Ree s town now, and nothing that Halliday or anyone--can do will stop him.
