Blue Pete Works Alone

Book excerpt: The Story: In this exhilarating, fast-moving yarn, Blue Pete, against the express wish of Inspector Barker of the Royal Mounted Police, sets out to avenge the brutal murder of a rancher and his wife. Once again, relying on his ready wit and the lightning draw of his heavy six-shooter, he justifies his action and beats the murderers-but only after he has found himself in the most desperate situation of his chequered career. "Blue Pete," the critics agree, "is the most famous cowboy in fiction." His reckless, snap-shooting exploits have proved immensely popular in a score of thrilling novels. This new one is the equal of any.
