Die Lonesome — Matthew S. Hart

CODY'S LAW
He rides alone for a breed that stands apart. He wears the badge of the Texas Rangers and a pair of silver spurs. He is the master of every weapon of the West--white man's or Indian's--and the servant of a fiercely held code of right and wrong. His name is Cody. The Rangers made Texas a land of law. Men like Cody made the Rangers a legend.

Just the thought of two hundred Winchester repeating rifles in the hands of a renegade band of Comanches made Cody's blood run cold. But the guns have indeed been stolen from an army supply depot in East Texas, and now the thieves are waiting for the right time to smuggle them west to hostile tribes. Cody's been assigned to do what he does best: go undercover alone and round up those rifles--and the men who stole them--before they can leave San Antonio. He has the brains to set a dangerous trap, and the guts to use a beautiful saloonkeeper as bait. But someone already knows Cody's true identity... someone who is desperately waiting for a chance to plug this lawman full of lead.
