The Gamblin' Kid

GAMBLIN’ KID - A Vintage Western Adventure by Will Jenkins (also known by pen name Murray Leinster) with the author's photo and an introduction by his daughter Billee –

Quick wit and quick aim were predominant qualities of the mysterious stranger known as the Gamblin' Kid. He entered town at a time when extraordinary happenings were going on at the Blue Streak Mine and the nearby ranches; stagecoach holdups, kidnapping, and baffling murder; when gambling stakes grew higher and wilder nightly at the Gila Monster Saloon and Dance Hall; and peaceful ranch folks, especially the lovely Marian, shunned the town.

How the Kid rescues Marian and then becomes suspect of a cowardly plot—
How he thwarts the plans of the treacherous gang that terrorize the town —
All of the Kid's actions are related in a series of gripping adventures, packed with excitement and suspense, which reach their climax when the Kid gambles everything on the turn of the cards at the Gila Monster, and later when Marian and the Kid decide to take "the greatest gamble of all."

This vigorous Western is written with a punch that will please the western audience.
