Wide Spot in the Road — Wayne D. Dundee

A DRIFTER DETECTIVE NOVELLA. #4. (Paperback includes three bonus chapters of The Guns of Vedauwoo from the Cash Laramie and Gideon Miles series) -- Vagabond P.I. Jack Laramie stops in the remote town of Buele's Corner for a bite to eat. Before he finishes his bowl of chili, he gets caught up in a tornado of events that starts with a panicked, young couple racing into the diner to use the phone to call for help--a menacing motorcycle gang, The Deguelloes, is chasing after them. When the couple discovers the phone is out of order, Jack steps in to help them fend off the gang who's accusing the couple of running some of their fellow bikers off the road.
