When the postman sees the letter addressed to Dave Coyle, he knows trouble is coming to Yellow Jacket and guns will soon be blazing. Coyle's face is plastered all over town on Wanted posters offering $7,000, dead or alive, but there's not a man in the territory fast enough to take him on. As word spreads that Coyle is to return, every man in town grabs a gun. But that won't be nearly enough. Coyle sneaks back under cover of darkness. He wears his guns, but he hasn't come to use them. He's here for Carol McFee, the only woman who ever saw any good in him and needs him desperately now. In a town where every man wants him dead, Coyle will do a good deed--or die trying. One of legendary author Luke Short's most popular westerns, Hardcase delivers a pulse-pounding story that twists and turns, and a wide cast of vibrant characters, including the memorable Dave Coyle, who embodies the courage, toughness, and loyalty of American frontiersmen.

Seller's Description:
Near Fine in Good jacket. 160 pages (complete). A most pleasing copy of this first British edition. The titling on the front of the dustjacket and on the dj spine have the title as one word ("Hardcase"); the blurb and title page have it as two words ("Hard Case"). The dustjacket is dramatic and sure. It has some light wear about the edges and seams, some scuffing and rubbing. It is otherwise healthy. The boards are placid. They have some very mild shelving wear to the edges. The contents are agreeable even though they were printed according to wartime economic standards: clean, clear, comfortable, companionable, sound, very confident. fk.
