Time and place? The Republic of Texas, at mid-19th century

Who and what? Texas Ranger Jim Reade, and his Delaware blood brother, Toby Shaw – tasked with solving puzzles, finding the missing, guiding the clueless, and protecting the innocent!

"So," Toby observed, an hour and a half later. "What have you seen, from this?"

The two of them stood, a few steps from a crude scarecrow cross-frame of poles, from which hung an extremely ragged linen shirt, formerly belonging to Elisha Reade – a shirt from which some small patches had been cut to mend items of a newer vintage. But there was enough of it remaining to serve, hanging from the cross-pole thrust through the sleeves, as a target for Jim's trusty Paterson revolvers ... A good few shots had been at close range. As close as the range in which Jon Knightley had exchanged – or claimed to have exchanged – revolver-fire with his wife.

"A curiosity which I had already suspected," Jim replied. He was tired. His shoulders slumped, and his ears rang from the frequent report of his revolvers. "Jon Knightley murdered his wife – his latest wife..."

Lone Star Glory – continuing the adventures of Texas Ranger Jim Reade and his blood-brother Toby Shaw of the Delaware, in the Texas of legend!
