Man with a mission ... Danny Fog has a lot to live up to, being the younger brother of Dusty Fog, the legendary gun wizard from Rio Hondo. But Danny's still a lawman to be reckoned with and by breaking up the loathsome cow-thieving outfit that's terrorizing Caspar County, he'll be well on his way to writing his own legend. The gun-crazy outlaws and Mexican cutthroats standing in his way shouldn't be too much of a problem for the big and brash young Texas Ranger. But dealing with the lady boss of the rustlers may be more than he can handle without help. So Danny's going to fight female fire with female fire, joining forces with one Martha Jane Canary. But kicking in with this tough gun-toting senorita could be more trouble than Danny Fog bargained for ... once he learns first-hand why folks hereabouts call her "Calamity."

Thanks for your quick service. I received this book within a very short time and was very pleased with the service and condition of the book. Thanks again.

My parents have been JT fans for over 30 years and own over 100 different titles by JT. I have read every one (many over and over), and while I love Waco and the Ysabel Kid my favorite character is Danny Fog despite the fact that he appears only in two stories (The `Bad Bunch' and `Running Irons'/'Cow Thieves') before being brutally murdered in `A Town Called Yellowdog'. `Running Irons' was previously published only in England and my dad spent years tracking down a copy for me. It is very fragile so I was thrilled to find a newer copy of my favorite JT story. If you liked this story I especially recommend `Waco's Debt' (not yet re-published) or `Waco's Badge'.
A note for JT Collectors, the titles often change when the stories are republished (`Cow Thieves' to `Running Irons') so if you have older books check newer books for their original titles before buying. Recently re-released `The Road to Ratchet Creek' was previously `Calamity Spells Trouble' and `Texas Killers' is the first(?) part of a two book mini-series originally titled `Benguinage' and `Benguinage is Dead' then re-published as `The Texas Assassin' and `The Lone Star Killers'.

I have read the book. I enjoyed it very much. I will continue to purchase J. T. Edson books.
