[Bannerman the Enforcer 11] • Day of the Wolf

The Governor of Texas had entrusted the safety of Senator Jonas Locke to his No 2 Enforcer, Johnny Cato. The mission proved to be more boring than anything else … until that last night, when Locke decided to go on a bender in the cowboy capital, Cheyenne. That was where Johnny’s problems began …

With the senator abducted by a sadistic maniac called Wolf Duane, Johnny had to head up into the high country to rescue him. But Duane had a whole passel of hired gunmen to back his play, so the odds were stacked high against him.

As if that wasn’t bad enough, the mountains themselves provided their own challenges—blizzards, avalanches and a pack of starved wolves that just wouldn’t quit until they’d turned him into supper.

But Johnny wasn’t playing a lone hand quite as much as he thought. His partner, Yancey Bannerman, was also on his trail, helped by a beautiful Indian girl who loved to take the scalps of her enemies!
