Big Jim 10
Page 13
“We go now,” said Jim. “Yes.”
And, quietly, they departed from Frankston. Somewhere to the north, maybe to the west, the east or the south, the killer of Lieutenant Rand was still at large. Until his apprehension and conviction, there would be little rest for the big man on the black stallion, the runty Mex on the plodding burro, who now moved away towards the sun-hazed horizon.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Leonard Frank Meares (February 13, 1921 - February 4, 1993)
Sydney born Len Meares aka Marshall Grover, published around 750 novels, mostly westerns. His best-known works feature Texas trouble-shooters Larry and Stretch. Before starting to write, Meares served in the Royal Australian Air Force, worked in the Department of Immigration and sold shoes. In the mid-1950s he bought a typewriter to write radio and film scripts. Inspired by the success of local paperback westerns, he wrote Trouble Town, which was published by the Cleveland Publishing Company in 1955.
His tenth yarn, Drift! (1956), introduced Larry Valentine and Stretch Emerson. In 1960, he created a brief but memorable series of westerns set in and around the town of Bleak Creek. Four years later came The Night McLennan Died, the first of more than 70 westerns (sometimes called oaters) to feature cavalryman-turned-manhunter Big Jim Rand.
