Title: Death Head Crossing
Description: Just read it.  Straight western but this has a twist with the Gunfighter Hell Jackson being the gun-fighting hero.  He's joined by a newspaper writer from New York but not one of the dime novel types.  He's given permission to join Jackson as he tries to solve a series of strange mysteries.  They team up and give a good showing of themselves and the news man is not some little wimp but an intelligent man looking to toughen up and report truthful news.  Quite a change just in that alone.  Very entertaining and fast reading.
