Yearless Wohlford

Book seven, staged in the 1930's, has the part-time special government agent and bounty hunter, Yearless Wohlford, leaving his Florida homestead on the track of a fugitive transvestite. The nostalgic Yearless, ingrained with the old school way of thinking, shuns automobiles to ride horseback cross-country to set up a sting in southern California. En route, he encounters a strong-minded redhead fleeing an abusive husband and offers her an escort to the West Coast. During the early part of the trip, Yearless is set upon by the intrusive and conniving lawbreaker, John Eppert, who continues to plague and hassle him. Eppert's great admiration and respect for the confident and capable Yearless turns to ribald jealousy after he is rejected, and he plots his ultimate revenge. Enter Dan Williams, who as usual turns everything upside down.
