The White Streak: A Western Duo: A Circle V Western (Library Binding) (ISBN-13: 9781643586090)

Recently a number of Western stories have been discovered among Max Brand's unpublished works and the first story in this book, "The White Streak," is one of them. Its protagonist is twenty-one-year-old Jimmy Babcock, a former football star, now working at the local bank run by William Parker in the town of Dresser, which has changed from cattle country to one made up of oil and alfalfa fields. When Parker fires Jimmy, all Jimmy can think is how much it will hurt Muriel Aiken, his fianc e, who wants to marry. When his father signs over the old family homestead to him, Jimmy feels a little better. But when Parker requests a meeting, Jimmy is convinced that Parker wants him back. When he learns what Parker really has in mind, Jimmy finds himself recalling the stories he has heard from his father about the notorious robbers, the White Streak and Utah Billie. He has to make a hard decision.
