Yancey Bannerman and Johnny Cato rode into Beaumont undercover, posing as a couple of trail-wolves fresh off a cattle drive and ready to howl. In reality, their mission was to find a mysterious mulatto whore who had been instrumental in the death of a prominent senator. The deeper they dug, the more enemies they made, and when things turned real rough, they left a trail of bodies behind them.
The senator's death had been connected to something big, and the head honcho of a gang whose specialty was blackmail and entrapment was willing to do anything to thwart Governor Dukes' two top Enforcers. But still they kept coming, and when the mission became personal, Yancey and Johnny vowed that nothing would stop them from seeing it through to its explosive climax.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
As well as writing under the pen name of Hank J. Kirby, Australian writer Keith has also worked as television scriptwriter on such Australian TV shows as Homicide, Matlock Police, Division 4, Solo One, The Box, The Spoiler and Chopper Squad. His thrillers are published under his own name.
"I always liked writing little vignettes, trying to describe the 'action' sequences I saw in a film or the Saturday Afternoon Serial at local cinemas," remembers Keith Hetherington, better-known to Piccadilly Publishing readers as 'Hank J. Kirby', author of the Bronco Madigan series. "Then, when I was in my teens I had an accident at work and spent a week at home recuperating. During that time I read a story called Jailbreak Justice in a book of cowboy stories and thought I could write as good or better yarn. I filled a dozen or so pages in an exercise book, called it The Texan (very original) and mailed it away. A couple of months later I received a cheque for six pounds fifteen shillings. After that I began writing fairly regularly and Cleveland Publications asked for novels of about 40,000 words."
Keith went on to pen hundreds of westerns (the figure varies between 600 and 1000) under the names 'Kirk Hamilton' (including the legendary Bannerman the Enforcer series) and Clay Nash as 'Brett Waring'. Keith also worked as a journalist for the Queensland Health Education Council, writing weekly articles for newspapers on health subjects and radio plays dramatising same.
"I must have been mad, but can still remember belting out a series on Smoking and Lung Cancer with a packet of cigarettes beside my typewriter - and going through them mighty fast!"
